Write an Ode
Write your own ode based on the Pablo Neruda odes we read and discussed in class. Be sure to incorporate some Surrealist elements into your ode (refer to the "Surrealism" handout I distributed in class if you are unsure). The ode should be long enough so that it is clear to me that you understand what an ode and Surrealism are. Be creative! :) Remember to check spelling and grammar! Due Monday, April 4; worth 20 points

My iPhone is my brain.
ReplyDeleteIt does everything I cant.
It's my life, my world.
Without it I'm nothing.
Without it I'm dead.
It keeps me straight.
It keeps me on track.
My life revolves around this one object.
It's all I really care about.
I think I'm inlove.
Is that even possible?
Can I marry it?
I promise to love and to cherish it for as long as I live.
It is everything I need.
I love my iPhone.
Mercedes
ReplyDeleteMy cat is unique
She has eyes of gold
Her skin is velvet
Her posture is of a queen
She sleeps like an angel
And stalks like a lion
From the pyramids of Eygpt
She is my sphynx kitten
Lola
ReplyDeleteLola,
the world's cutest beast.
She is the most passionate creature there ever was.
Brown eyes the size of planets
will melt your heart.
Timid, yet loud,
she will eat anything in the house.
She is loyal and loving
and softer than silk.
Lola rubs against my side
coating me in golden fur.
She is big as a horse
yet gentler than a lamb.
I love Lola
more than anything in the world.

My dog is one-of-a-kind
His fluffy white fur reminds me of Winter
Yet his blue warm eyes reminds me of Summer
He sleeps so innocently
But once he's awake and playing, he's everything but innocent
Hands down, the cutest dog you'll ever see
Lives in my house and goes by Cody
You come crawling in as a spider
ReplyDeleteNot a warning or a prevention
Coming to take lives everyday
The suffering you bring for months at a time
Never giving us a reason as to why
Smothering our loved ones
With that sickness that kills
I can't imagine the pain a victim has
You fill our blood, organs
and everything you please
With your poisoning venom
Snatches us all, trapping us in your web
When every one of us will fall
As the rain comes in the spring
And you left with our loved one
we all feel the everlasting pain
Cancer comes like a flash of light
And then she's automatically gone
Booming with earth-shaking might
ReplyDeleteBlinding with a white flash
Thunder and lightning come as one
To form the element of all our lives
Powering our phones, our computers, US
It shocks through everything
Like air through our bodies
Like thoughts through a clueless
It invigorates and destroys
Electricity, the son of fire
The element with no credit
The ruler of technology
My bike is like a god
ReplyDeleteit cost
so much but means that much the same
it gives me freedom
its going to be the end of me I swear
the bike I love
the bike I hate
but I feel so alive with it below my
feet
flying though the air
with gravity turned off.
Ode to Music.
ReplyDeleteIt gives me strength when I do not have any
On my darkest of days, nothing can cheer me up better than a good song
With music I am never alone
It will never grow old and get sick
It will never leave me
Nor will it ever die
Music puts a smile on my face when there is nothing to smile about.
It is my one true love
and I know it will love me forever.
