Ode
An ode usually has a variable number of lines and stanzas, but it follows a regular rhyme scheme and meter.
O Bordeaux, how I love your land
Where grapes of noble lineage grow
And yield the finest wines that flow
From vineyard hills to cellar grand
O Bordeaux, how I praise your art
That blends tradition and innovation
And crafts with skill and dedication
The nectar that delights the heart
O Bordeaux, how I cherish your culture
That spans from ancient Roman times
And shines through architecture sublime
And rich and diverse literature
O Bordeaux, you are a treasure rare
A region of beauty and grace
A source of joy and inspiration
A destination beyond compare
