Notes About The Poem

November 13, 2019, FGI series 2 ode, Brian Strand, sponsor

"There is no rule that dictates what exactly an ode poem has to be written about to be considered as such. However, the poem must be in favor of the subject, and must hold the subject in high regard and praise them as such. Ode poems are positive in that regard, and thus are a strong form of praise and tribute." -<em>from Poetry Soup, Poetry Type "Ode" definition</em> 

Poetry Form: ABC Poem - In this example, a poem in which every word begins with a successive letter of the alphabet. The first word starts with A, the second with B, the third with C, etc. ("Express" phonetically represents the "X")
