Imitating Collins, write an ode to an emotion of your choosing. But first make sure that you have a handle on Collinss Ode, considering notes available in the posted lecture. Your ode doesnt have to be exactly the same in terms of all the formal qualities like rhyming scheme, meter, line number, stanza organization, voice, perspective, diction, and so on. However you should draw inspiration from enough qualities to make the reference point recognizable. And essentially, like Collinss Ode, it should have 3 parts: an opening section, and epode (or more technically accurate, a mesode) that changes perspective, and an antistrophe.

Here is how I have defined the word Anxiety: The emotion you need to write this ode about is Anxiety
Anxiety
Noun; A premonition that is usually caused by excess pondering. A state in which
your body enters. An emotion that blocks out all the excess noise from the world
and guides you to only be able to hear your heartbeat. A place where you are not
sure how to get out of. Usually is never diagnosed and is left to grow. May negatively
affect your health and mood. Almost like a memory box that is filled with thoughts as
time passes and is convenient to reach for. A horrible sensation that the airways to
your lungs are being blocked. Important to speak about and difficult to make
another person truly understand your personal perspective.
YOU do not need to rhyme or use difficult language. make sure the poem has 3 parts just like the example
from the link
