What is a ode in poetry?

Answer 1

There are actually three normal types of odes: the Pindaric, the Horatian, and the Irregular. Usually, the three parts of an ode are the strophe, the antistrophe, and the epode. These are types of stanzas, or groups of lines in poetry. Odes usually have rhyming lines, but the structure of the rhymes is not always the same, and really... there is disagreement on what qualifies as an ode and what doesn't. Probably the best thing to do if you want to write an ode is to find an example of one and copy the rhyme structure. I found a Pindaric with the structure ABABACDDC... meaning that the first, third, and fifth lines rhyme, and the second and fourth rhyme, and so on. Horatian and Irregular odes are much less formal than that, and many people just use the word "ode" interchangably with the word "poem" ... if you call it an ode, it is an ode. Not everyone would agree with that, but it is definitely what you see with some poems that are called odes. :) Try the following sites for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ode http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/5784

Answer 2

An ode is a type of lyrical poem that expresses strong emotions and admiration for a person, event, or object. It typically follows a formal structure and tone, often celebrating its subject with elaborate language and imagery. Odes are a classical form of poetry that has been used by poets throughout history to convey praise and reverence.

*First thins first, you have to come up with a subject.

*After you have done that you'll need to come up with ideas to support that topic (ex: ice cream- silky, smooth, creamy...).

*Next jot down sentences that have to do with it and talk about what you like about it(ex: Oh, ice cream you are so sweet, in the summer you're a very good treat...)

*After that try to meke every thing make sence like switch sentences here and ther to make it understanable

*The Last thing you can do is make it rhyme. You don't have to, it's just recommended

*Try to make the ending reffer back to the begining
