Ode to an Ode

ode

Oh dear Ode!
You make me
Smile
You’re full
Of Guile
You are Tall
And Slender
You are Harsh
Or Tender
You are All
You are not
You are Willing
But not A lot
You Give
You Plead
You Laugh
You Bleed
I Find You
In my Weakness
I See Your
Sumptuous Sleekness
I Hear You
In my Glory
You who are
Old as Story.
Oh Ode!

  1. This is so clever. I enjoyed the idea of writing an ode to an ode! My favorite phrases were:

    I find you
    In my Weakness
    I See Your
    Sumptuous Sleekness

    1. Thank You Mary 🙂 I was struck by the humour in the ode to my socks in the example and just thought, why not an ode to the ode 🙂 Im so glad you got the giggle in it !

  2. Very clever choice of subject – and carried off sublimely. There are some beautiful lines, which Neruda would have been proud of, I think. BTW, have you read his Ode to Laziness?
