Pindaric
1 A ceremonious poem created by an ancient Greek poet who lived in the fifth century BC.
2 A poem that consists of a three-part structure: a strophe, an antistrophe, and an epode.
Irregular
1 A poem that doesn't follow any set structure and is open to experimentation.
2 A rhymed ode that doesn't have a fixed number of lines per stanza.
Explanation:
Pindaric or Pindaric ode is named after the great Greek poet Pindar described as the greatest lyrical poet. Pindar lived about 5th century B.C. Pindaric odes consist of three parts: 1 strophe, antistrophe and epode. The strophe and antistrophe have the same meter and length; while the epode has a different meter and length.
Irregular Odes have some of the elements (usually tone and subject) of the classic odes (either Pindaric or Horatian), while they are free in experimenting with rhyme and structure.
There is also a third type of odes called Horatian ode named after Roman poet Horace. It has a regular stanza pattern. Horatian odes are usually more thoughtful and meant for personal enjoyment as compared with Pindaric ode.
