An epi-ode a new subgenre

A poem, as such,
Is merely a sign -
A wider perspective
Of what’s yours and mine,
I mine like a digger,
With words from a grave,
But you barely see it
In the way I behave.
Too courteous daytime,
Too dreadful a night,
With feelings combining
And thoughts on a fly,
But it might be easy
To lower the scale
Of interpretations
Among which prevail
Some groundless
Intentions.

* An epi-ode is a new metamodern subgenre which is devoted to outstanding people who cannot be seen through monochrome lens.

The diversity of the ways they are seen and the complexity of feelings turns poems into epi-odes (epigrams which humorically describe some deeds) and odes (to express admiration with someone's personality).
