Pindaric Ode

Strophe.

I’m going to attempt a Pindaric Ode.

I think I’m being rather ambitious.

It mightn’t be good but I’m on the road.

Mastery of form is among my wishes.

Antistrophe

But what on earth am I trying this for

I’m no poet, my doggerel is dreadful

There is no desire to be published here

It’s just that I think words are very cool.

Epode

Because that’s all that really matters isn’t it?

A love of words put together with grace

Perhaps a dash of comedy or wit

I am learning these things at my own pace
