It is a short lyric poem that praises an individual, an idea, or an event.

It is a poem in which a certain feature – for example, the first letter – from every line combines to spell out a message – usually the name of the subject, for instance the person to whom the poem is dedicated.

It is a poem that conveys a vivid message in only 17 syllables.

TRUE or FALSE: Odes are often ceremonial, and formal in tone.

Now the vast waves of sound drift along Deep, beautiful, vast and strong Through the fields and vales and valleys they glide And rolling down the mountain side Daring and carefree the water pours From the highest edge they jump and falling,

The word "ode" comes from the Greek word aeidein which means:

TRUE or FALSE: Odes are always accompanied by music.

Haiku originated from

An old silent pond A frog jumps into the pond— Splash! Silence again.

Sunshine warming my toes, Underwater fun with my friends. Making homemade ice cream on the porch, Many long nights catching fireflies. Early morning walks to the creek, Reveling in the freedom of lazy days.

It is defined as poetry that is free from limitations of regular meter or rhythm, and does not rhyme with fixed forms.
