00:00Poetry writing for kids.
00:04Topic 9.
00:05Writing an ode poem.
00:09A poem can be a collection of words that expresses feelings or ideas, sometimes with a specific
00:15meaning, sound, or rhythm.
00:17An ode is a form of poetry that is written to celebrate a person, place, or thing.
00:24Odes originated from ancient Greece.
00:26They were usually performed with a musical background, often an ancient stringed instrument
00:31called a lyre.
00:33Some common themes for odes are love, admiration, celebration, and friendship.
00:42Odes are usually elaborately structured and have a formal tone.
00:48Tone is the author's attitude towards the subject of their poem or the audience reading
00:53their poem.
00:55An ode poem can follow one of these five forms, short, long, romantic, funny, or sarcastic.
01:06Some poets insist that an ode should be no more than four to eight lines long.
01:12Some of the most famous odes are 30 lines long.
01:16Instead, the focus is on passion, not length.
01:21There are different types of ode poems.
01:25Here are four types of ode poems.
01:29They are Pindaric, Horatian or Irregular, English Romantic, and Sapphic.
01:42Pindaric odes were written in the 5th century BC by ancient Greeks and are usually used
01:47in stage plays by performers.
01:51Pindaric odes are written in three parts and often tell a story with motion while continuing
01:57the plot.
01:59Horatian or Irregular odes originated in the 1st century BC from Latin poet Horace.
02:07These types of poems are a lot more personal than Pindaric odes.
02:13Horatian odes are usually written with two to four stanzas and do not have to follow
02:18a rhyming pattern.
02:20English Romantic odes are the most common and can be written anywhere from four lines
02:26to thirty lines.
02:28This form of poetry mostly follows a rhyming pattern in the English language and are popular
02:34inspirations for folk songs.
02:36What once started as epic tales and middle-aged poems, English Romantic odes can be found
02:42in a lot of today's music that you listen to.
02:46Sapphic poems are the most structured type of ode.
02:50It is made up of four lines, a quatrain, with three eleven-syllable lines ending with one
02:56five-syllable line.
02:58These odes usually do not follow a rhyming pattern.
03:03Let's take a look at an ode called Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats.
03:10This is one of the most famous odes written, which was written in 1819.
03:17O Attic shape, fair attitude with breed, Of marble men and maidens overwrought,
03:24With forest branches and the trodden weed, Thou silent form dost tease us out of thought,
03:32As doth eternity cold pastoral.
03:36When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain in midst of other woe,
03:43In yours a friend to man to whom thou say'st, Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all,
03:52Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
03:58Let's take a look at the structure of this poem.
04:01This poem is written about a Grecian urn, which looks something like a large vase.
04:06It is written in five-line stanzas.
04:11This poem does not follow a specific rhyming structure, but notice that the rhyme scheme
04:16can be found at almost every other line.
04:21Now I will write my own ode poem.
04:26First I will need to choose a structure that I want to follow.
04:30I think I will follow the English Romantic structure with a quatrain.
04:36Then I will need to brainstorm a topic for my ode.
04:40I think I will write about a cupcake.
04:44Next I will need to think of the four lines I want to use for my ode and make sure I include
04:50rhyming words.
04:53Last I will need to put my words together for my readers.
04:57Let's try it.
05:00My ode poem is called Scrumptious Cupcake.
05:06Oh Scrumptious Cupcake, it's truly you I love, a soft and sweet yet tasty treat sent
05:13from heaven above.
05:16I did it!
05:18I wrote my very own ode poem about a cupcake and I followed the English Romantic structure
05:24which includes rhyming words in a quatrain.
05:28I also chose to write my ode in short form.
05:33Now it's your turn.
05:36First you will need to choose an ode structure that you want to follow.
05:42Then you will need to brainstorm a topic for your ode.
05:47Next you will need to think of the number of lines you will use for your ode and make
05:51sure to include rhyming words depending on your poem structure.
05:57Last you will need to put your words together for your readers.
