Odes

Odes are traditionally poems written in praise of someone or something that inspires the poet. They describe how the person or object brings joy, comfort or inspiration to the life of the writer. Often, they are exaggerated and over the top, sometimes even humourous. Be as creative as you choose to be with this form as it shares what really matters most to you.

I have included some samples below to give you some ideas.

Ode to Purple

Your colour ever so delightfully gorgeous.
The perfection of the rainbow.
Blue, red colours
mixed with excellence,
to create the colour known for royalty,
elegance and
sophistication.

You have the power to make a goddess
smile
with your luxurious nature,
gifted to lose people with your mysteriousness...

Purple, 
Purple,
Purple...
I could say it all day.
Gaze at it all day.
Compared to you,
all the other colours don't even come
close to your marvelous beauty.

A combination of the warmest and coolest colours,
creating something magical and astonishing.
You're warm,
and cold.
Something mellow,
Like me!

(Britney Schwab)

Ode to Music

Music
The golden cure
To emotions
Commotions
Reality
Lifting one's soul
To what could be called
Heaven
Pushing the demons of life
And modern chaos aside
Forgetting the definition
Of frown
And discovering the truth
Of joy
Music is
Our
Stairway to heaven
MY
Stairway to heaven

(Travis Arnal)

Ode to the Sun

A blazing sphere
of orange
amidst the blue of sky;
Nothing is better 
than basking 
in its glory
on a hot summer day,
a tall glass
of cool iced tea
at my side.
