Thanks to Erin Adair-Hodges for today’s poetry prompt inspiration:
Today’s prompt is to write an ode. Not a classical or even English ode, which follow particular formats, but rather, just write a poem in praise of something. Except, since we’re post-post-post, not really. Write an ode to something not usually praised or for which you have, at best, mixed feelings. Here is a great example, Kevin Young’s “Ode to the Midwest.”
This exercise is inspired by my trip to the dentist today. There were kitten posters on the ceiling.
