Read An Ode To Poetry

R-ead an ode to poetry, 
E-ach line makes much mirth; 
Y-our heart will be warmed on the day of your birth.

F-rom ABC to villanelle, 
A-crostic amazes the reader; 
L-yric, prose and sonnet
A-re calming the howler.
M-ock epic, rispetto and stanza
I-n reality are artistic; 
N-inth November morn
I-s beautiful and poetic.
A-llegory, ballad and cascade
N-ever retain the misery; 
O-pen both your eyes, read an ode to poetry.
