Traditional odes often have a predetermined rhyme scheme and a fixed number of sections. Pindaric odes from ancient Greece have three sections: the strophe, the antistrophe and the epode. These sections are made up of stanzas, or groups of lines with the same rhythm (or meter) and rhyme pattern. The English ode is often called an irregular ode because its form abandoned the three sections of the Pindaric ode, which gave writers more freedom. English odes usually have a regular rhyme scheme. Ballads - Simple language, stories, ballad stanzas, repetition, dialogue, third-person objective narration.
