Re: And the drum played
Well, while poetry is not normally constrained by the same rules of grammar and punctuation as prose, a poetic parody should, at the very least, mimic the style and format of the original, if only to make it more identifiable as a parody. Your tercets have an aba rhyme scheme while hers have none. Hers begins and ends with the same line; yours does not. Your piece contains 17 lines; her poem contains 20. Hers is center aligned and yours is not. See what I mean?
