Not gonna lie I just learned about odes today and I probably did it wrong because I don't know much about them yet. I decided to post them anyway because I'm still learning. In case you don't know what an ode is and you are too lazy to look up the definition it's basically just a lyric poem.

Ode #1
Ode to Sadness

Sad
sadness is a feeling
a feeling everyone has
It is different for everyone
Though.

Sadness can mean lots of things
A sadness of a loss
A dream, hope, friend, anything
Sadness is blue
Like a wave washing over you.

I used to not understand why people felt sad.
A feeling of crying, wanting to be held, the
Light being gone
Feeling hopeless
Gloom is there.

Then a light.
It shines through.
A warm light.
Happiness.
Then I know it will be alright
Sadness is not just about
Feeling upset
It leads you to a light
A tunnel
A tunnel to happiness
I think I understand now.

Ode #2
Ode to the Sky
Above is the wind
Twirling like a dancer
Chilly
From up above
The sky has given me this
A shiver
However the sky
Has been there for me
The sky has shined for me
Now it is cold to me,

I then see the
Sun
Making its way to rise

The sky
Reminds me of
Happiness.

Ode #3
Ode to My Crush

I do not know if you can tell how I feel
my stomach goes up in butterflies
a girl you like
a girl who is not me
you gave her a teddy bear
and she gave it away.

I would not do that.
I care
I wish you understood,
you make me feel light
light on my feet
and you make me shine
you make me laugh
when we talk.

I want to confess
but I know you do
not feel the same
you gave her a teddy bear
and she gave it away.

I may let go of this crush,
now or
then
but for now
I love you.
