Ode
Ode poetry is a lyrical form that expresses admiration for a subject, celebrating beauty or significant experiences. Traditionally structured in three parts, odes convey emotional intensity and invite readers to reflect on themes, creating a strong connection between the poet and the audience.
Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt, the realm of the pharaohs.
You have your exalted heights for the vulture,
and a serpentine viceroy for your depths.
Amun-Ra enjoys your deification,
as one who radiates a smile upon you by day.
The king of gods and their dexterous magnificence.
He speaks from the burning sky and the air!
Anytime leanness threatens your neighbours,
the life giving nile extracts your lush green.
Having flowed like milk from pendulous br****s
You sourced your indelible prints and texts
from versatile cyperus papyrus.
On your hieroglyphs we see you revealed,
so do we at the valley of the kings.
The many gods defined and still define you.
Your culture, your life and the underworld
are all by Osiris and Nephthys controlled.
The old kingdom, the middle and the new
are all at Memphis, Thebes and Pi-Rameses seen.
The pyramids of Giza distinguish you as one wonder of the world for all civilizations seen!
One magical Egypt, the precursor of modern civilizations.
