An Ode

Week 16 (July 15-21)

An ode is a piece, usually a poem, written to praise or exalt something. You can write an ode to your favorite kind of tea, an ode to your little brother, or an ode to summer, etc. This week's prompt is to write an ode. Choose something (or multiple things) that you love or enjoy. The subject of your ode can be as simple or as complex as you want. In your piece, explain what these things are and why you, specifically, enjoy them. Why are they special to you personally? How do they make you feel? How do they improve your life? Use as much detail as possible! Format your response in a way in which readers will understand why it is you love them, and in a way that convince your reader to love them as well!
