Ode On An Ode

A former lyric to celebrate some bode A lyric to praise someone who is a goad A lyric in praise of the West Wind - an abode Of Autumn and frost; a lovely lyric that rowed Many poets to the highest pinnacle mode – Inspired me too, try my skills at a crossroad. Poets write on ephemeral with you, O Anode! They describe love, beauty, or music, borrowed From Pindar or 1st century poet Horace lode. But chose I You, Dear, stunning, serene, grim Ode. Inspired so much that feelings and views outflowed From my pen and compelled to pen down the load On the paper; ideas from Wordsworth I borrowed. A strict line or stanza is not required in ode So free, so unrestricted, so honest to explode Your emotions; anyone can try his carload To stride his feelings to carve elation sowed In heart to pen down his emotions bestowed. Types are the Pindaric ode, the Horatian ode, and the Irregular ode; third being most popular load. I follow Monorhyme, and wrote an ode on an ode To commemorate importance. Nor ignore nor strode, Used my flair, elegance and ideas winnowed With imagination; no notion borrowed. The tone is serious, genuine, and reflective strode Celebrate major events and moments load Aeolic ode written with a calm, tranquil mode And contemplative tone so that pacify abode By William Wordsworth or John Keats showed Expecting to see more elegant and serene ode.
