Ode to the Ode

Oh, odes, oh, you creative odes,
How vividly you portray the things we love!
You are there to make us smile, with your over-the-top exaggerations.
I can't imagine a more interesting way to describe our fondness.
Oh, odes, you dramatic odes,
 How wonderful you are!

 If you haven't already guessed, 4th graders were challenged to focus on dramatic word choice and exaggeration as they wrote odes to some wonderful inanimate objects. Check them out below!
