Some say my heart is made of fire
others say it’s ice
Well I have tasted of desire
that melted ice and blazed the fire
But I’ve also had love parish twice
and known enough of artic hate
To know that those who’ve known the ice
knew thru fate
both would suffice

Author notes
I wrote this one first, but it didn't turn out funny which is my idea of a parody. I decide to post it anyway, because, what the heck else am I supposed to do with it? I hope someone likes it.

Wow! Though it may not have been funny, I'm extremely impressed! Firstly by your syllable stresses. You've nailed the flow of this piece. Sylabically, I would have never imagined anyone hitting it so parallel to Frost's original piece but you pulled that off here.
Artistically, I see a lot of talent. Your originality is more than mountains, friend! Being greatly influenced by Frost I must say... I think he'd be proud of this piece

well, i did like it, but it wasn't funny as you stated. and i'm with ya there, i think a parady should be funny. oh well. haha, this is what came out, so... we'll get over it! not that there's anything to get over, unless you don't win, then you'd have to get over that, but then, there is us at AP to lean on.
