Ode Poems | Ode Examples

As we sit and type and stare at our screens. At times we wonder what all of this means? With our mouse we roam through poems like a maze. Looking for something worthy of our praise. We write of our hopes and tell of our woes, Most of the time, not knowing where it goes. We wait for the views and...

Come! Bring forth the jar that for months had stood Patiently undisturbed in the shadow! Lift its lid, remove the leaves that serve as hood And help age the wine that’s about to flow. Catch a whiff of its sweet smell long detained That now perfumes the air around us here. Take some of the liquid with a bowl unstained And--wait! Before...

As I walk around on the green grass ground The sun shone down on the lady in a light brown gown She bowed with a “hello” Her voice pierced like a love arrow The darkness in her eyes I see a beautiful soul Oh, hello! Come and let's delve deep with me into the gloomy exploring galaxy Throughout the journey I sense peace,...

In everything I could not be You were always there for me In everything I would not try Your love pushes me Far away from you, dear Imagine me I'm still there walking by your side So lean on my shoulder I'll wrap my arms around you Oh please don't sigh Don't cry Because I miss your smile Let me wipe those tears from your eyes I...

O hush of night, you sacred veil, Who cradles hearts when strength grows frail— Receive this soul, so gently stirred, Whose silent grief has gone unheard. Receive this soul, so gently stirred, Whose silent grief has gone unheard. You walk with those the world forgets, Who carry dreams like faded debts. The ones who smile through aching breath, And meet each dawn with quiet...

Upon the waves where the wild winds sing, A tale unfolds of a vessel and its wing; Through the tide, it dances, graceful and free, Harnessing the ocean's heart, a sight to see. With cargo holds filled, treasures abound, From the Pacfic to the Atlantic, dreams resound. A bill...

Oh, hail the champions of the couch potato throne, Whose true inspiration is laziness alone! From the depths of sloth, great inventions arise, A tribute to those who prefer their dreams to the skies. The remote control, a marvel of our time, No more adjusting; we’ve reached our prime! With just...

Mirror you kept inside of me Your face I slept with me Smiles you brought for me Your love I painted as me I can hear your thoughts and I'm always beside you I can sense your emotions and I'm always near you You don't see me but you believe in me You think...

Oh, the joy of telemarketers, Who call you up without a care, With offers they believe are clever, But really just provoke despair. They call with grand insurance plans, Covid kits and credit schemes, As if I’m some prized target For their automated dreams. “End-of-life” expense protection — Oh, what a cheery nightly theme! I nod along sarcastically Inside my caller-haunted dreams. And then there’s Medicare, of...

You come down And strengthen the feeble. You pour down And awaken the dying. The frail await your arrival. Your departure saddens the blooming fields. There’s a rebirth at your coming; Hope begins to wane at your leaving. The clouds quake at your appearance, And the sun retreats...

Oh Moon, the shining lantern of the sky! The brightest light set ablaze in the dark! Glorious boon, heaven freely granted! Committed guardian of the night! You appear each night to lead the wayfarers, The ones lost in the labyrinth of darkness Shed PHOSPHOROUS beams of light on their way You stay aloft in the firmament in deep solitude, Amid clouds that CASCADE...

Sydney my love, Sydney my city Splendour and majesty, nothing such pretty. Sydney my love, Sydney my city. First rays of the sun, spread here fun. Opera, Harbour Bridge, Blue Mountain. Pretty pretty places, plenty plenty beauty. Sydney my love, Sydney my city Clean clean beaches, green green trees, Pleasant weather, cool cool breeze. Kissing the shores, sea waives sporty. Sydney...

You drown out every noise, In stillness, we hear your voice. This is the seeker’s guide, For those in search of the truth. You open the door to the light, We emerge from the recalcitrant night, To find the treasures we seek And the pathway to Zion’s gate. You summon the...

In a world of noise where the distractions reign, Amidst the proliferation of mobile phones, You find your haven, a refuge from the din, In the depths of quiet, where your spirit roams. While parties surge like waves upon the shore, And social media dances, a fickle flame, Your...
