LOST WITHOUT YOU
Ode To The Ordinary
My praise and words ring true.
Would be lost without you
By my side constantly.
No animosity!
š±
Connection to people
with text elation
family or keypal
that's communication.
š±
Organization help!
Appointment calendar!
Or, Google word kelp.
When to buy lavender?
š±
Taking a special pic.
Yes, indispensable!
Share a family flick.
Not reprehensible!
š±
Travel companion must!
Always there just in case
An emergency trust.
Indeed, you are my ace.
š±
Cell phone we are a team.
Writing a story and beam.

"The Prompt
Write an ode to an ordinary object.
At the beginning of the year, we hosted the Uncommon Poetry Challenge. Now, it's time to embrace the opposite: the ordinary. This poetry challenge prompts you to pause and appreciate the unsung heroes that add value to your daily life ā to find beauty in the most mundane. From the reliable old toaster that browns your bread each morning, to the humble pen that captures your thoughts, or the warped key that opens your home - we invite you to bring these everyday items to life in verse.
An ode is a form of lyrical poetry traditionally used for expressions of praise. It's about shifting perspectives, unearthing depth and complexity in the simplest of things. Entries can range from humorous to sentimental, abstract to concrete, as long as they embody the spirit of celebrating the ordinary.
Thank you for reading! You are always appreciated!
