POEM STARTER

Write a Horatian ode to a fictional character that you admire.

Horatian odes are short lyrical poems that deal with themes of love and friendship. They are written in stanzas of 2 or 4 lines, with a consistent metrical pattern.

The Way You Became

I saw the way you cared so little

I saw the way you grew

I saw the way you became

The way you twisted around life so careful never to hurt it again

You used your skin to weave a shield

Your heart as a sword

And your soul as a bargaining chip

And because of that you lost so much of yourself (but you saved so much of the world)

Hope c.h. Mayalin

Hi, so still feel like a fairly new poet but I’ve spent the past year (In poetry class) working on my poetry. So I felt as though it was time to start sharing some of my work. Any feedback on anything would be great and I hope you enjoy reading.
