John Keats
Keats and other writers of this time period wrote many poems in the ode form. Write your own ode using a modern subject (or a timeless subject). For more information or tips in writing an ode, study the following:
⦁ The type of ode written by Keats featured three stanzas.
⦁ A rhythm and rhyme scheme are established in the first stanza, then repeated.
⦁ The ode addresses some entity directly, using the word Thou as a term of direct address.
⦁ The subject of the ode may be a natural object or living thing; a season, an emotion, or other abstract concept; or a work of art or other human creation.
⦁ The tone is somewhat dignified or exalted and the vocabulary used is less casual than other lyrical poems.
⦁ The purpose may be to celebrate an event, person, or entity or to provide for private reflection.
