He also wrote ballads & odes
but sonnets were his  favourite mode...

He had an incredible parting...

As poet, I aspire to Mount Parnassus's seat;
and labor all the day, so my odes flow with beat:

before I plumb the depths; and probe Pieria's deep!...

A child who died young-
Fratricide,incestuous rape
Treason by a son-
Wives taken before his eyes
His kingdon rent in two-
Lasting lyrics of life
In Psalms,odes and song....

Odes are lyric poems
Often in ballad form
Original stanzas
Opinions of poet
Overflowing in length
Optional to be sung
Or read aloud in chant

jugernaut of the masses
call forth the minions
stockpile the odes
and breathe no more
hold into account all I have
pillage not unto my weakness
scoff not part now
plow the ground
and support the groves
of my shortcomings...

romance ricochet off the walls
odes of love abounded,
mixed with gooseflesh emotion
all depicting memories of how love
nurtured by the sun, sea and sand
treated to a romantic interlude
in a secluded hotel.
Changed my life......

On wings of sunlight,
Enchanting sonnets of peace;
Composed by the morn.
·
Rustled by the leaves,
Carried by the footless winds:
Echoed by the breeze.
·
Poems of the dawn,
Written by the morning dew:
Passionate...fresh odes....

To write some rules that check a text
to posit if it’s human:
a bit like Noah building arks
while lacking in bitumen.
For what’s the pitch, the angle here…
see plagiarism ceased?
To write a code to find fake odes:
that’s some recursive beast!...

Like a thief
Rich words come
Wise, warm, rhymes

Nouns and verbs
Verse still, light
Quaint hues, blue

In silent
Odes, the truth
Rains down hope

No more swastikas -
you're with Daddy now.
When father sneezes,
Dachau odes are sprayed
onto sandpaper.

Linen tissues
glaze his black horns.
Dish rags polish
obtuse pitchforks.

Papa squirms
in a bag
full of God.

Achoo!
Ach, du

Die!...

Proses and poems
Pictured prevail
Emotions emancipated 
Feelings of frail

Stances and stanzas
Words weaponry
Therapeutic tensions

Odes of oration 
Verses verily victorious 
Whimsical writes

OURS

Oh, how I adore you.
Only you can inspire me.
Ours is a love that comes
Once, once in a lifetime.
Others could not compare
Or rival what we have;
Odes not do it justice

having been, seen and so known
truth of being as living light
here now containerised in form
denied for now is spherical sight

soma nectar drips through nadis
bliss magnetism penetrates nodes
consumed by the burn in slow motion
we pen to God these verses as odes...

Personal poignant passages pure
 Odes, oddities, and opinions to opine
   Essence of everyday evolution evokes
    Truth and tales trumpeted to transcend 
      Repetition, rhyme; recollections revealed
        Yammering and yearning till yarns are yielded
