Thanks to all who participated in the Write an Ode Poetry Contest!

 

I was sad to reject a number of poems for a number of reasons:

  • subject not a common, inanimate household object
  • not 3 stanzas
  • not a praise extolling the virtues of your selected object
  • no rhyme pattern characteristic of an ode

However, there were plenty of great entries, lifting up their object of praise, in varied rhyme schemes with different line lengths, some serious, some quite humorous, to which I say, well done!
