CODE MY ODE
By Leon Enriquez
I pen my writes
With mystic ink
As words I cite
Seed what I think
I craft my lines
With simple rhymes
As I feed fine
Crisp rustic chimes
~~~~~~~~~
The words ooze fast
In sensuous feel
Now first to last
In cast that spills
Prize thoughts that float
Across my mind
As if to bloat
Deep profound finds
~~~~~~~~~
The way of ease
In glimpse of lot
Moves joy and lease
In verse I slot
An ode of verse
With profound play
As I observe
The Milky Way
~~~~~~~~~
Clouds drift and dot
Upon dream stay
Where fate grooms lot
On this my way
In steep deep trip
Ink stains cursive
Move fingers’ grip
Wit verse that live
~~~~~~~~~
The writer’s craft
Starts with a thought
In tensile draft
As rhymes allot
I rise and shine
With happy grudge
To stay what’s mine
With words that nudge
~~~~~~~~~
Words have a way
To state my case
Etch truth that stays
Upon rhyme base
Forge hue and tint
That colours shade
Word art blooms mint
As rhymes now trade
~~~~~~~~~
The winding road
Where life goes by
Bears fate that loads
My weary sighs
Cheer and gloom set
My lovely fest
Where gambling bets
Attune with quest
~~~~~~~~~
Words juggle well
With poesy here
In a strange tell
To cluster near
Words in a gush
Stream on full scale
As muse must rush
Fine course of gale
~~~~~~~~~
So here’s my ode
As rhymes now show
Risk sanguine code
As mode thus grows
Music grooms lines
In show-and-tell
Where words incline
True yarn that dwells
~~~~~~~~~
In gall or brine
Feel the outburst
Rhymes attend lines
In soul’s own thirst
Words on a page
Convey and hint
Upon the stage
Of feel that mints
~~~~~~~~~
Feel sad or mad
Upon these shores
Feel good or bad
Or odd once more
Words paint a sketch
Of feel and think
As if to match
Strange fate that links
~~~~~~~~~
Here for a while
My moments cull
A certain style
In touch not dull
Ode in pure mode
Now captures time
To craft deep code
In poignant chimes
