Ode to my hair $$If my hair were a tree id climb it I$\text{'}$d kneel down beneath and enshine it$.$ Id treat it like gold and then mine it Each day before school i unwind it And right before games i entwine it These locks on my head i designed it And one last thing if you don't mind it: That bet you just made? I DECLINED IT$.$ The ode poem Josh made about his hair tells you how much he cherishes his hair.This poem isn't about something random Josh wrote about something he admires.An ode poem tells a story about something you love. The reason Josh wrote about his hair is because he loves his hair.You could write an ode poem about something you love like a family member or a pet maybe an activity but you have show just how much you love it$.$ A definition poem is simple: it includes a word, its definition, and examples, like "ironic." These poems help Jordan explain words that might be hard to understand by describing them. Another example is "Calamity." These two words are connected because they both talk about things that can happen in good or bad ways. In The Crossover, Jordan uses many definition poems, Jordan makes it clear what he means and helps the reader understand the words. Definition poems and odes are the same and different. They both help Jordan explain things that might be hard to understand. For example, in "Ode to my hair," he shows how much he loves his hair and gives examples like $"$I$\text{'}$d kneel beneath and enshrine it$."$ In definition poems, he explains words and gives examples too. But they are different because an ode shows Jordan's love for something, while a definition poem explains what words like ironic mean. This shows how odes and definition poems are both similar and different.
