My Ode

People I’ve noticed are vile
Mewling and complaining about nothing
Unlike the one lovely and versatile
Person I find worth loving

Everyone manages to grate on my nerves
The human race I find pitiful
But this shining beacon is like a perfect hors d’oeuvre
Pondering this one’s perfection leaves me quizzical

Each putrid blob of a person
Finds their rancid personage imperial
Their filthy greed cannot worsen
The glowing of my seraphim, ethereal

This celestial work of art in place
Should be on display for others to see
So they may know the perfect curves of a face
That is worthy of matriarchal decree

The soothing mist of this Venus’ aura
Causes me to risk correction
I smile at her, opening the box of Pandora
I grin at my own reflection

Oh, that's actually quite encouraging! Thanks :D This one was easiest for me to write because I could go all over the place with my words and I LOVE that. Thank you much :)

My friend and I (BrokenSoul5) were reading your poem on the website, and we fell in love with the way your words flow. You are a natural, and i agree  that you should keep writing. I look forward to reading more of your works, I know that you won't disappoint :-)

Well, I'll try to put any more up if I have to write them for school. I'm a bit nervous about my writing and the reception it'll get, but I'll take your advice.

Thank you! I guess I just read a lot, and that sort of broadened my vocabulary.

"...Time and Chance happened to them all." Ecc 9:11

Deep, reflective, terrific use of words, missing a period at the end of a stanza. But well done none the less 5/5

I was disheartened to find that you do not have any other works on this site. Please consider writing more, you are talented.
