HYPNOTIZING ODE

Are you an exotic truth of my past?

( The poem starts with a question originated from an unusual legitimacy of ancient days)

Infinite craving for your poesy prevail.

( A poem or body of poem or an artificial, sentimentalized poetic writing )

Amaranthine adoration compiling within my soul ,

( Unfading and everlasting admiration and love accumulated within one heart )

Since unknown millennium of my entity.

( Good expressions are made by the Poetess )

You abate  my  uncontrolled torment,

( Life is itself is in anguish )

by exiguous limits etched from your soul.

( The Poetess Piusha's most favourite word is " Soul ")

Perpetual await  every twilight

( Exceptionally good imaginary )

to corrugate in your hypnotizing ode .

( To draw or bend into folds or alternate furrows and ridges )

Awakening the hidden  devotion within me,

( Narrated well the beauty of the soul and love )

chiselling me with your colloquy into a fine sculpture.

( Highly poetical instincts )

Tranquilize me with your soothing effigy,

( This lines puts us into sedation )

Exhilarating my thoughts as deep reflections .

( Brings thrilling of exotic visions )

Sing  aloud the symphonies of our ruminations ,

( to meditate or muse and to ponder in life )

thawing all the bitterness around us....

( Life is beautiful to some, ugly to others )

Thanks dear Poetess Piusha Singh in depicting a beautiful Ode to COSMO viewers.

The word “Ode” comes from the Greek " aeidein" , meaning to sing or chant, and belongs to the long and varied tradition of lyric poetry. Originally accompanied by music and dance, and later reserved by the Romantic poets to convey their strongest sentiments, the ode can be generalized as a formal address to an event, a person, or a thing not present. This is a great and amazing ode to hypnotize human mind through the miracles inherited from the values of body. But, this verse is bit different from your usual style, though the concept remains almost same as in your earlier spiritual oriented verses. A powerful knife to chop off few words and terminologies which  may bring the poem to an upper level of appreciation. Your soul is an unseen violin in an  orchestra; I know not what instruments, what swindle strings and harps, drums and its sound and clash inside yourself. All you hear is the melody and another symphony of life. It seems to be like the piano or the violin; it's about how smart you could play the melodies to make a good synchronization or harmony. How is it possible that you swim in that river against the waves of spiritual bliss with regard to the realities of life on earth.Hence an appreciation goes to your verse for the many ways in which you continue to support the mission of symphony of body and the soul

In short, there are three different types of odes: the Pindaric, Horatian, and Irregular. The Pindaric is named for the ancient Greek poet Pindar, who is credited with inventing the ode. Pindaric odes were performed with a chorus and dancers, and often composed to celebrate athletic victories. They contain a formal opening, or strophe, of complex metrical structure, followed by an antistrophe, which mirrors the opening, and an epode, the final closing section of a different length and composed with a different metrical structure. The William Wordsworth poem " Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"is a very good example of an English language Pindaric ode.

The Horatian ode, named for the Roman poet Horace, is generally more tranquil and contemplative than the Pindaric ode. Less formal, less ceremonious, and better suited to quiet reading than theatrical production, the Horatian ode typically uses a regular, recurrent stanza pattern. An example is the Allen Tate poem " Ode to the Confederate Dead "

The Irregular ode has employed all manner of formal possibilities, while often retaining the tone and thematic elements of the classical ode. For example, "Ode on a Grecian Urn " “ by John Keats was written based on his experiments with the sonnet. Other well-known odes include Percy Bysshe Shelley’s " Ode to the West Wind "  Robert Creeley’s " Amercia" , Bernadette Mayer's " Ode on Periods" and Robert Lowell's " Quaker Graveyard in Nantucket "
