Encomiastic verse is poetry written in praise of a person, place, thing, or idea. It celebrates its subject openly, often in elevated language, and may honor a ruler, a friend, a virtue, a work of art, or something else the poet wants to commend rather than question.
Example
Your hands, old gardener, know the secret earth,
How seed turns patient darkness into green;
The orchard leans toward you like good fortune,
And every branch remembers what you mean.
