What type of poem is Pied Beauty?

Ode
Ballad
Sonnet
Epic

The correct answer is: Ode

Pied Beauty is an ode because it expresses a sense of admiration, appreciation, and celebration for the natural world through its use of imagery and vivid descriptions. Odes often praise something or someone and tend to have a fixed structure and form. Therefore, the other options, such as ballad which is a song or narrative poem, sonnet which is a 14-line lyrical poem, and epic which is a long narrative poem, do not accurately describe the type of poem Pied Beauty is.
