Looking at the title, you may think 'what in the world is an ODE?
It's just a type of poem that is a bit annoying to write.
How do I know that? Because I've written one. Please read it even if it's terrifying.
ODE TO AN ODD ODE
Dear ode
It's first time that we have met, but I'm really astonished.
How can you destroy someone's mental consciousness only by appearing and appealing
yourself in front of us? Your unbelievable length, unbelievable words has led me to severe acute brain-spinning disorder. How astonishing! I saw one of you created by an English poet. Its exotic and extraterrestrial English unable and difficult to understand. Even the teacher couldn't understand one of you!
How astonishing, odd ode. You are nothing but a whole bunch of English, Korean or Chinese or whatever written on a paper! How can a 1~2 paged text lay burden on humans! Odd ode, by your existence, all of class 13, 14, 19, 20 are suffering. Odd ode, why can't you be smaller for the greater good? We will be satisfied because we don't have much to write, and you will be satisfied because you lose your weight. Odd ode, please listen to me. Please be shorter that this. Please reduce our suffering. I could hear someone's mental collapsing from here.
Please, odd ode. you might think that your smooth, superb words of description make you one of the most beautiful literature, but please wake up from your daydream. Just for this time, odd ode. Why can't you put yourself in our shoes? Our brain has games and idol singers carved in, not elegant words of description. It's a heck of a thing for us to create something like that. Just for this time, odd ode. Please give up your elegance, your smoothness, and your rhymes. Then we could have been friends.
Anyway, odd ode. My thought is to make fun of you. I'll come up with ideal ideas that you've never seen in your existence. I'll put my every effort into my creation so that you have a mental breakdown just like you did to us. It's time to make things even. I will not be fooled by your foolish length, or your exotic words. Heads up, odd ode. I'm going to conquer you!
Really seriously,
