I ode you this. - The Chicago Poetry Center

I ode you this.

The 7th grade poets from West Park Academy learned about the “Ode” poem. After much discussion about the things they admire, are grateful for, and generally love, they were asked to dedicate a poem to that person/thing. What, or who, do you think the 7th graders dedicated their poems to!?
