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.
Ode to Fruit (or someone with fish-lips)
With a mouth like that you can only clench,
affix your teeth to my ribs.
From your occipital; sprouts lush, blench
willows bloom rich, sage, Sierra Figs.
Dissonance lies behind his glassing eyes.
Agronomists permeate peas throughout my pod.
As my propagating ego shies,
you'll see you've gutted Cod.
Now, not one wench shall endure your sour stench,
your young seedling is full of pips.
Do you know her pain, can't you see she seeps?
Acidic tear drops dissolve her pulp as her cloudy juice bleeds to blood.
