This week we will focus on a type of poetry that can be funny or serious, the Ode. Odes are poems that celebrate a particular person, place, or thing An ode is a type of poem or song that is focused on something or someone that is praiseworthy. The word ode comes from the Greek - aeidein - which means to sing or chant. I posted some examples of Odes in the gallery.
