Irregular Ode

What is an Irregular Ode Poem?

An Irregular Ode is a poem with meter and rhyme, just like all other odes, but has no set pattern. Each line rhymes somewhere throughout.

Example of an Irregular Ode Poem:

(a) Oh! Glorious Spring, how amazing you are
(b) You are both Truth's beauty and light
(a) You travel far
(b) Yet always remain bright
(c) Baby lambs greet you with a bleat
(d) Birds fly stretching their wings
(c) Lovers on a seat
(d) We are truly thankful for what you bring
(e) Spring never leave
(f) Oh but can I compare
(g) How I feel when you're near?
(g) Spreading your joy to those so dear
(h) Spring we celebrate your birth
(h) And we mourn each year you leave this Earth
Oh Spring!
