A sensation.
Overwhelming joy.
Leaving a spark on your tastebuds.
A bright color.
A message of bliss.
A youthful pleasure.
It’s the extroverted friend.
Plainly humerous.
Spontaneous.
Like a zealous child.
Bursting and fizzing.
A pop.
In the rays of sunlight.
Bathing under it’s power.
A statement so profound.
Found in a pepper
An orange.
Likely in a lemon
A unique feeling.
Unlike any other.
- I published an Ode.
- I chose “zestiness” as the subject of my Ode because I feel it’s a unique, but an underrated flavor that people don’t acknowledge as much.
- The tone of my poem is “euphoric.”
- The theme of my poem is describing the uncommon, yet unique flavor, which is “zestiness.”
- Two examples of figurative language are, “It’s the extroverted friend,” and “Like a zealous child.” These two examples of figurative language contribute to my poem by enhancing a lot of enlightenment into it.
- The first way I revised my poem is rephrasing “Youthful joy” to “A youthful pleasure.” Another way I revised my poem was rephrasing “It’s the spicy friend” to “It’s the extroverted friend.”
- It was a little hard to write this poem because so many interpretations could be made to one flavor depending on how people approached it.
- I am satisfied with my final draft because I used a lot of elevated vocabulary.
