The term 'verse type' can refer to a variety of poetic forms, such as an ODE. An ODE is a type of lyrical poem that is usually written in praise or admiration of a person, place, or thing. It often has a formal structure and is composed of stanzas with a specific rhyme scheme. Odes are typically written in a more elevated language than other types of poetry, and they often contain references to mythology and classical literature.
