Aw, Bill, thank you for the ode. I think this is the first ode written in my honor (and everyone else). I love the approach that you have taken with this contest. I can see why it placed in the contest. Congratulations!

This was a funny little poem to read. It is a bit of a tongue twister which only adds to the delight. I can see my son-in-law going around saying this just for fun.

You followed the rules and wrote an excellent ode for the contest. Your illustration pairs well and sets the stage for your words. This is very nicely done.

All the men and women working the front line. Doctors, nurses, paramedics, police, firefighters definitely deserve it with all they have to go through. You know if more people sang praises instead of hate this world would be a better place to live.

I enjoyed reading your interesting Ode poem. It's a bit simple with a hint of humor. Your artwork choice is interesting, as well. Best wishes in the contest.

Hello anonymous

Interesting entry for the Ode 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. You repeat words too many times. You only have 17 words to create a clear message, to write same word 3 and 4 times is just lazy. I recommend a rewrite. Something like this...

this hand's for you man

and other people out there

all swell folks as well

I like how you are all inclusive in your ode, truly to all. I like your wordplay also. that is one of my literary techniques. You even have a fun dialectal touch. You did a swell job. I am voting for this one.

I feel included with the "you two, too!" Nice to give an ode to everybody. Now if only everyone would just be willing to be more cooperative and give that same kind of laud to one another. Best wishes in the contest!
