Lines written when I felt like being blabby-key

My project is a remapping of William Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey. Using the form of the poem studied, I wrote a satire on how Wordsworth does not believe in his audience, yet his audience ended up being the world. And though his audience is vast, the poem still creates a unique bond between Wordsworth and each reader. Tintern Abbey teaches us how to reach back into our childhood for remembered joy that can please us in maturity. Therefore, each individual experience is different because it is based on each individual's youth. After initially receiveing negative criticism for the Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth was able to see them, and especially Tintern Abbey, become popular. However, he will never know how truly grand his audience has become.

Physically, I chose to display my message by juxtaposing my poem with Wordsworth's, and connecting the two with lines of ribbon leading from my use of his text to its actual placement in Tintern Abbey.

Here is a picture of the hard copy of my project:

…And a more readable "rap-happy" version of the text (the links act as the ribbon and anchor to the place where text is in Tintern Abbey):
