Response papers get old

The other day, I was asked for my literature class to write a one-page response on a poem. As much as I admire my professor, critical analysis, and classic poets (especially Browning--he is my favorite), this is a little diddy I wrote after turning in the paper. I am open to both comments and criticism.


God Alone
Professor, wherefore write we trite responses on demand
To Browning that we disregard the moment we get home?
For whether is easier, to factor or expand?
I do not think it blasphemy to write, instead, a poem.
