Please critique my poem-- An Ode on a Grecian Urn?

Question

This poem steals the structure, all the rhymes, and a few lines from a famous poem by John Keats. In some ways it may be a dialogue. I would be very grateful for any criticisms, comments, critiques, or thoughts.

(In receipt of a Grecian Urn from Christie's as a token of a lady's favour)

Thou muse of parcels, font of the express,

O still unravished bride of quietness!

Anticipation is the balm of time,

That soothes the marching feet until the rhyme;

So leaf-fringed legends haunt about thy shape:

Thus gifts from wrappers struggle to escape!

In vain, the parcel and the present both,

The self-same sweet suspense to spin are loth,

For only dying woods of Arcady

Fell poets down in antique ecstasy.

Answer 2

You have an excellent grasp of vocabulary, ancient and modern and a gift for meter, the heartbeat of poetry. I would prefer that you not imitate a Master, but use your own creative ability.

Answer 3

wow...It's going to take me all day to get through this.  You know, there are times when I think that I am pretty smart, but this is not one of them.  I get the gist of the poem, but I'm going to have to break out my dictionary and do some analyzing which will take a while.  Aside from that, I have no doubt that you have done a marvelous job at capturing Keats in every respect...structure, language, and rhyme.  It sounds amazing when you read it aloud.  I only wish I were able to give you a critique you deserve.  Well done.
