For Fun
If
These are my ponderings on what ifs. ►►►►►►►►►► If I were a rich man I would find the poorest people in the United States (my homeland) and feed them. If some of those being fed were cheating and not really poor, I would still feed them without question because that is a person with a broken soul who needs nourishment and nurturing. I would go further and find the poorest nations in the world and feed them also because the poor in the United States are not the only ones in need.

An Ode To Snow, Water and Life
The ode is a poetic form formed for flattery. There are three types of odes: the Horation; the Pindaric; and the Irregular. The Horation ode (named for the Latin poet, Horace) contains one stanza pattern that repeats throughout the poem--usually 2 or 4 lines. The Pindaric ode (named for the Greek poet, Pindar) comprises a pattern of three stanzas called triads. This type of ode can be composed of several triads, still the first (the strophe) and the second (antistrophe) should be identical metrically with the third (epode) wandering off on its metrical path. The irregular ode (named for no one in particular) does away with formalities and focuses on the praising aspect of the ode. Writer's Digest, Robert Lee Brewer
