Ode

After last week's sestina, I find I don't have much of a taste for writing in too defined a form this week - no Pindarics here.  I though my subject wanted a fairly loose touch anyway - am hoping the run on from 'of' and the general listiness of the thing gives it a reasonable momentum - perhaps too much alliteration though, admittedly.

An ode I like - and I'm taking the ode now to mean a work honouring something, not a formal animal in even the irregular, Romantic sense - Matthew Dickman's 'Public Parks'
