Ode to Shoes
You are so comfortable
Oh so very comfortable
You fit so snug
Like a bug in a rug
You allow for swag
But you make me pay
For the chance to brag
To brag about the swag
Your designs are so fresh
So clean and fine cut
That even on a bad day
You can get me out of a rut
Without the comfort and support
My feet would be lost
So they thank you, I thank you
We thank you dear shoes
Notice how, in the examples I provided on the class blog, that odes don't always rhyme. Usually, the emphasis is still on comparison (just as in the litany) and also emphasizing anthropomorphism (giving human qualities to an inanimate object). I'd love to see you hone in on a SPECIFIC shoe rather than shoes in general. I think your poem would take on a whole new life.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting ode because it is so true that shoes get you out of rutes
