An ode is a poem on an occasion or particular subject that's typically dignified and more serious than other forms of poetry. There are several versions of what the rhyme scheme for an ode should be, but in respect to this form, I'm going to give it one and write an ode to my sister, who I've been thinking about a lot recently because her birthday is coming up and I miss her.
Ode To My SisterYou couldn't pronounce my name
While you were learning how to talk
So you called me A-E-Kah
Even before you could walk.
Then when you got older
You became my exact clone.
You followed me like a bad private detective
And "borrowed" everything I own.
Battling over my makeup or clothes
Divided more than our relationship.
The masking tape down the center of our room
Solidified this earthquake-like rift.
I have never been so thankful
That our fights were a juvenile phase.
Only lasting as long as we were running
Through that crazy adolescent maze.
Though we missed the opportunity
To be friends when we were young
My love for you Brittany
Will never, ever be undone.
