Parody

Can the word "parody" be applied to a poem which has been composed in response to another poem? For example as an artistic dialogue between two poets?
Thanks

Thank you for your reply. Emotion: smile
Is there any word for a serious and artistic response? I mean without making fun of the first one.

No special word, I think. Response and reply are both fine and standard. Other words, like rejoinder and retort, suggest anger or impatience.

Keats wrote a poem he called "Answer To A Sonnet By J.H.Reynolds."

You could consider pastiche.

Many authors have written pastiches of Sherlock Holmes stories, respectfully imitating the literary style of Arthur Conan Doyle.
