The name [ode] comes from a Greek word meaning [something which is sung].
In an ode the poet invents a new stanza, and then repeats the stanza as many times as he needs to complete the poem.
We don't normally call it an ode if the poet uses a stanza type which is already well known (so a poem in quatrains or couplets is not an ode).
Most odes are patterned on the odes of Pindar (a Greek poet who specialised in ode writing) and a special feature of the stanza is that it features both long and very short lines.
