  10. ode An Ode is a poem praising and glorifying a person, place or thing. Ode To A Butterfly Oh! the butterfly he flutters all day, he roams the skies with some delay. He alights on trees, fences and roses, to whatever attracts his fancy he will do his poses. He's up, he's down he dances with the breeze, he comes, he goes and does it with ease. As I watch him in pure delight, I begin to wonder if he knows his own plight. An Ode To Dreamers When dreamers dream And lovers love Do they receive their visions From heaven above? Or do they originate Where all things start Within our minds Within our hearts? I know not all But what I do know is this You cannot build a Kingdom Upon a flimsy wish So believe in your dreams Follow them blind Lest you lose them all, To the hands of time.
