Ode: An ode is a lyric poem that is written to praise a person, event, or object. You may have heard of or read the famous "Ode on a Grecian
Urn" by John Keats. (Some students mistakenly believe that this poem was written on the physical urn, when it fact the poem is written about an
urn — it is an ode to the urn.)

The ode is a classical style of poetry, once used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, who sang their odes rather than writing them on paper. Today's
odes are usually rhyming poems with irregular meter. They are broken into stanzas (the "paragraphs" of poetry) with ten lines each, sometimes
following a rhyming pattern, although rhyme is not required for a poem to be classified as an ode. Usually, odes have three to five stanzas.

Directions: Reread Anne’s “Ode to My Fountain Pen”. Write an ode to a favorite tool of yours (computer, iPad,
cell phone, paint, etc.) The ode should be five stanzas long and include at least four lines in each stanza.
