An ode and an elegy may have different poetic structures.

Explanation:

Ode and elegies are both forms of lyric poetry that emerged in Ancient Greece, however, they differ in some aspects. Firstly, odes are mainly to praise or recognize the goals achieved by someone or some event, on the other hand, elegies are used to recognize the life of someone who died or to express the mourning for the death of someone. Additionally, both forms of lyrical poetry or stanza differ on their structures, while odes are divided into three major parts the strophe, the antistrophe and the epode, that consisted on different sections with different verse structures or irregular stanzas. On the other hand, the elegy structure consisted on hexameter verses that are verse composed by six feet (combination of two, three or four syllables), followed by pentameter verses, which are verses with ten feet. Thus,  the poetic structure of the ode and elegy are different as odes have irregular structures but elegies follow a combination of hexameter and pentameter verses.
