An Ode To Writing

Writing 

It has always been waiting for you

You never have to wait for it

Writing can be done anywhere

So many ways to write too

More than just an ode

A story, a reflection

The pen and paper just waiting for you start a new

But when you touch them they wake like a lion

Ready to write anything

So much freedom out of the blue

But you can never be wrong

Because when you write there is no limit

There is nothing stopping you

Like a silent morning the stars dancing out of the sky

No limit for the day ahead

Just a quiet dew

It lightens the load

A fresh start

A soul that feels new

When you write everything is gone 

Everything is still 

Just the piece and you.

Reflection

The Ode to Writing by Reed Garrison is a poem that really explains all the possibilities of writing. This ode has a very good flow with a rhyme every 2 lines and has figurative language like personification and a great simile. This ode also shows the way writing can be anything. My favorite part is, “There is nothing stopping you. Like a silent morning the stars dancing out of the sky no limit for the day ahead just a quiet dew” Because it has a great point but also ties into the rhyme scheme. Another great line is, “The pen and paper just waiting for you to start a new” Because it shows that the writing is coming from you and without you the pen and paper are just sitting there waiting. The Ode to Writing is a poem that shows that writing will take a load of your soul but without you there is just a pen and paper.
