Odes

On week six of the residency, we built on the past two weeks of lessons on Comparisons and Similes to write odes to some of our favorite things. In doing so, we studied the example of “Ode to Blue,” a poem by a previous CPC student, Eloise V. Eloise wrote: “You can be as dark as the bottom of the ocean. / You can be as light as the summer sky. / Anyway you make me happy.” I think you will see that the Burbank students are equally creative in the ways they describe the various aspects of the things they chose to praise.
