Ode to the Forgotten:
ReplyDeleteOde to the people who were forgotten
They were once loved and cared for
Ode to their lives
Everyday they hurt
While in desperation for love
and generosity.
Ode to their heart
That was torn apart viciously
With little consideration
Of their inner feelings
Ode to their memories
That bring back happiness
Or to the ones
That are very vague.
Ode to those who have tried
Those who haven't given up
The ones that will keep climbin
For them life hasn't been easy.
I found this on www.poemhunter.com, and to be more specific, at: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-the-forgotten/
The poem reminds me of our day to day life. Some people are forgotten temporarily, but the people who die can soon be forgotten forever.

This is a poem I found while searching blogs about odes. This one is about depression and makes me think of times in life that are hard, but also joyful, because we couldn't tell the difference of depression and happiness if we didnt encounter them in our lives. It can be found via this link:

Depression is Loving someone with nothing in return,
Depression is Slowly living instead of jumping head first,
Depression is Acknowledging the mistake but without learn,
Depression is Not trying, giving into your lifes curse.
Depression is Cutting and cutting thinking you cant stop,
Depression is Staying quiet thinking no-one will care,
Depression is Floating around with the desire to drop,
Depression is Ignoring the people who always seem to be there.
Depression is Trying to end the life youve been given,
Depression is Watching other people watch you,
Depression is Giving up instead of being hard driven,
Depression is Depression, do you feel it too?
here is my ode to death
ReplyDeleteOde to Death
Whatever we do
It finds its way towards us,
How much we try to escape it
But one day we fail.
It’s always a fight to survive
But we never win,
We try so hard but never win
What kills us is its fear,
The eternal battle will rage on
And every time there be one winner,
Death…
i walk into the store
ReplyDeletemy stomach starts to grumble
this tasty aroma fills my nose
as i begin to mumble
i slowly walk to the desk
im hungry as can be
i lay down the money quick
im filled up with glee
i wait eagerly for my food
but i get my money back,
when i sadly ask the cashier why
he says "were out of big macs."
this is a poem about mcronalds ):
Ode to hamburgers
ReplyDeleteYummy and warm
Good when cold
Buns of white bread
Slabs of meat in between
Grease running down the side.
The cheese glistens in the light
Layer upon layer of lettuce
Red tomatoes and pickle mesh together
The creation of heave
Ode to Hamburgers
The first bite to the last
Makes me feel euphoric.
This is my poem:
ReplyDeleteOde to Earth
Earth is shaped like an ostrich egg
Just floating alone in a vast universe
It is where we live
People let us be proud of it
Beautiful life, trees, and the ocean
Beautiful sparkling stars light years away
If we do not protect it, who will my friends
Earth has supported us for so long, let’s do our part now
Earth is shaped like an ostrich egg
It is getting smaller because of our wild and careless needs
Earth is just floating alone in a vast universe
It still supports us, so Earth thanks a lot for your entirety
-Ahmed Khan
i like alberts poem ):
ReplyDeleteAn ode to hope
ReplyDeleteHope is the thing with feathers
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
This poem was written by Emily Dickinson and I found it on
