Copy the bolded portion only: Ode: Name given to an extended lyric poem
characterized by exalted emotion and dignified style. An ode usually concerns a single, serious theme. Most odes, but not all, are addressed to an object or individual. Odes are distinguished from other lyric poetic forms by their complex rhythmic and stanzaic patterns.
Elegy: a Greek or Latin form in alternating dactylic hexameter and dactylic pentameter lines; and a melancholy poem lamenting its subject's death but ending in consolation.
Dramatic monologue: a poem representing itself as a speech made by one person to a silent listener, usually not the reader.
