Woot! Woot!
Ya-hoo! Yay!
I want to say
I wrote a poem
for you today.
I feel so good.
I want to sing.
My little heart
beats ting-ting-ting.
Eeee-haw!
What about you?
Wouldn't you like
to write one too?
I've been too busy lately and when it came to writing a poem for today, my mind was all in a whirr. Do you ever feel like that? There were just too many directions I could go. Too many ideas in my head. Too many things I could write poems about, and I wasn't happy with any of them. So I started to write a poem about how I couldn't write a poem; but when I'd gotten done, I had written a poem. So I started over with a poem to celebrate the poem I'd written. I like this poem a lot more. I like celebrations. How about you?
Do you think you could call this poem an ODE? An ode is a poem in praise of nature, public figures, or events.* I think this poem is in praise of writing a poem, so I can classify it as an ode.
*Definition taken from A POET'S GUIDE TO POETRY, by Mary Kinzie, University of Chicago Press, copyright 1999, page 441.
Today's challenge is to write a poem. Do you want to write your own ode in praise of something? Do have fun.
Celebrate! A poem a day deserves to be celbrated!
ReplyDeleteI should write an Ode to Linda who constantly gives me encouragement, support and great ideas for writing poems.
ReplyDeletethanks for all your help.
