A Lonely Word
An 5-7-5 Ode about Honesty10 total reviews
Comment from Jean Lutz
Adorable! Picture and confession capture the innocence and sometimes not quite of a child. At age 75 I am still blessed to be able to give love-care to little ones. I wish you well with the ode.

Comment from Bill Schott
This five - seven - five ode, A Lonely Word, is funny as I compare the claim with the cherub-faced child that you've chosen as your image. I like this play on the opposite expression of guilt being written there. Nice.

Thank you. I'm glad you so the irony there. Although this is not a picture of my son. My little guy could never hide his lie under his sweet face. When he tried though, it was comical.
Thank you for the review and generous stars.

What a wonderful 5/7/5 poem about lies vs honesty! I like the presentation, is very attractive and easy to read, the picture is adorable! Good job with the syllable count.

Linda,
Thank you so much for the review. This was a fun piece to write. Honesty is so important to me and it might as well be since my emotions show on my face anyway. :)

A very thoughtful and and pointed 5/7/5 entry in this ode poetry contest. It's so true, kids have yet to develop the skills necessary to be successful liars, I believe lying is a learnt skill, although with the human condition the way it is....well done, excellent entry in this comp. good luck, blessings, Roy

The picture perfectly depicts your choice of topic for this delightful ode. It reminds me of a with the line "there once was a girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead..." Clever writing. Good Luck. --Judy

Okay, the syllable count aspect of the poem is fine. The issue I see, is the context. An 'ode' typically is lyrical poem about a person or thing, which celebrates it. I'm not sure if that is in the context here. What do you think?

I love the question. I am actually confused about this contest. I googled Ode today and several websites told me it was a lyrical poem written about a person, thing or event: something that I am passionate about. I chose honesty.
They also said it is a long poem with several stanzas so that's what I did following the 5-7-5 syllable count. Now I think that was wrong so I changed it to only three lines, making it unclear what my Ode is about. Yikes.
I may mess with it some more before the contest deadline. Thank you so much for your comments.

Very good ode. Great use of the tried and true idioms. I am with you on the truth. Don't pat my back and whisper lies in my ear. Great rhythm. Gretchen

Thank you for your review. I think I submitted it wrong for the contest; too many stanzas. So I had to change it. Just wanting to be honest :) If you need to change your review, I understand. Thank you for taking the time to read.

I have never seen a 5-7-5 poem this long. This was wonderful. Your word usage and ability to actually create this type of poem using a strict number of syllables is amazing. Great job. Love the message too!
