Eve Roper Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

My November Challenge: An Ode to _(ONE STANZA ONLY) Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Andrea Dietrich Written on 11/8/2025

An Ode To My Ears

To my ears, not elephant ears
I did not inherit from my granddad.
I have ear piercings on my earlobes,
which allow me to showcase
my favorite earrings or studs.
The left ear is fully deaf, 
allowing me to enjoy the silence. 
In a hectic world, 
those moments are golden.
