A Plagiaristic Ode To My Alarm Clock
Using The Titles Of Books By By Bed - For The Vocal Ode To Ordinary Challenge
I hadn't done a Plagiaristic Poem for a while, and I usually use the sonnet, villanelle, or acrostic forms, but I thought I would try another Ode for the Vocal Ode To Ordinary challenge. This time it was my new alarm clock, using the titles of books next to my bed.
The alarm clock wakes me up with a "sunrise light effect" from 5.15 followed by some incredibly gentle birdsong which feels more like part of a dream rather than alarm, but it is a really nice way to be woken.
The Prompt
Write an ode to an ordinary object.

I will base it on this Pindaric Ode as I cannot really find a great definition of the form, though I believe I have tried it before. Essentially an Ode is meant to be a poem of praise.
The music is "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham! because that is what the alarm clock is for.
