Speedy's Way

by QC Poet

Speedy G was fast to run up front and always stayed in the middle,
Working hard to get things quickly done with no time left to fiddle,
Boy when his longest days had come he'd quickly run to wet his whistle!
Drinking it all till Last Call cause Slowpoke's never are served the quicker pistol?

Slowpoke's left behind drink near beer on bar stools sitting by the outer edges,
Never taking many chances and they're slowly last to lose rhythmic focus,
Speedy's drinking Time flys again faster breaking more of his pledges,
Hunting for a Slowpoke's way out hoping he don't need to use hocus pocus!

Both leasurely lounge without fear always fast to fill all of their crazy hedges,
Most times drunker than those bristling in fear who's threats will often piddle,
Speedy and Slowpoke are a metaphorical related pair firing off some spittle,
There's always a bit of truth in there watch out ~ Fake Guns will try to smoke us!

This is My Ode Metaphorical Style Cartoon Messaging Free Verse.

What Is the Structure of this Ode Poem?
Like An ode poem is traditionally divided into three sections, or stanzas:
1. The strophe; In modern usage, the term strophe can refer to any group of verses that form a distinct unit within a poem.
2. The antistrophe. The second section of an ode is structured the same way as the strophe, but typically offers a thematic counterbalance.
3. The epode. This section or stanza typically has a distinct meter and length from the strophe and antistrophe, and serves to summarize or conclude the ideas of the ode.

But This One Uses a Free Verse Style in the Combined Metaphorical Messaging.
