Ode to an Olive
Oh Olive,
You are as precious to me as any gem,
With your beautiful, pure skin as smooth as silk
And as green as the grass in summertime.
I love your taste and the smell of your tender fruit
Which hides beneath your green armour.
Olive, sweet, tasty Olive,
How I love you so and my mealtimes wouldn't be the same
If you weren't in my life.
Oh Olive,
Nothing can compare to you, nothing at all,
You are food of the gods, a king's riches
And, most importantly, you are mine, oh Olive!

Ode to Marbles
I love the sound of marbles
scattered on the worn wooden floor,
like children running away in a game of hide-and-seek.
I love the sight of white marbles,
blue marbles,
green marbles, black,
new marbles, old marbles,
iridescent marbles,
with glass-ribboned swirls,
dancing round and round.
I love the feel of marbles,
cool, smooth,
rolling freely in my palm,
like smooth-sided stars
that light up the worn world.

Ode To a Chestnut on the Ground
From bristly foliageyou fellcomplete, polished wood, gleaming mahogany,as perfectas a violin newlyborn of the treetops,that fallingoffers its sealed-in gifts,the hidden sweetnessthat grew in secretamid birds and leaves,a model of form,kin to wood and flour,an oval instrumentthat holds within itintact delight, an edible rose.
In the heights you abandonedthe sea-urchin burrthat parted its spinesin the light of the chestnut tree;through that slityou glimpsed the world,birdsbursting with syllables,starrydewbelow,the heads of boysand girls,grasses stirring restlessly,smoke rising, rising.
Pablo Neruda

Ode-writing tips - for adult reference to adapt and display
Greet your food grandly. Describe the food using 'You' (2nd person) – adjectives/noun phrases! Compare the food to something that makes it seem amazing (simile/metaphor). Tell the subject something that you love about it. Tell the food how eating it makes you feel. End with hyperbole - an over the top exclamation.
Reflect & improve - to adapt & share after 1st drafts
Reread ode and look for places to develop powerful images: e.g. add/improve alliteration, adjectives, onomatopoeia, simile/metaphor).
Choose one or two more ideas and slot them where they will sound effective. Read the whole ode through again to listen to its impact. Magpie (Pie Corbet term for 'borrowing good ideas') the last line from An ode to an Olive.
