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.

Day man

If admiration granted wishes

I’d have everything I need

But I know you’ll never know this

Since you never learned read


I think that we could be good friends

If only space and time allowed

But it’s impossible, alas, and so I’ll ask

In your words, “what do now?”
