Ode An Ode is a poem praising and glorifying a person, place or thing.
Example #1: An Ode To Dreamers
When dreamers dream And lovers love Do they receive their visions From heaven above? Or do they originate Where all things start Within our minds Within our hearts? I know not all But what I do know is this You cannot build a Kingdom Upon a flimsy wish So believe in your dreams Follow them blind Lest you loose them all, To the hands of time.

Example #2: Ode To A Butterfly
Oh! the butterfly he flutters all day, he roams the skies with some delay.
He alights on trees, fences and roses, to whatever attracts his fancy he will do his poses.
He's up, he's down he dances with the breeze, he comes, he goes and does it with ease.
As I watch him in pure delight, I begin to wonder if he knows his own plight.
For soon spring turns into summer then summer flies quickly by, the sun setting early into a darkening sky.
The butterfly is gone now replaced by snow, but he will be back again to put on his beautiful show.
