Answer 1

While Ozymandias is a sonnet, 'Will there really be a morning' is a poem in 3 four line stanzas

Explanation:

Ozymandias is written in iambic meter which suits its content well, as it is ominous and foreboding in its content, as well as mysterious. The sonnet form also reveals a structure that is well versed in poetry. It allows for the reversal right after the eighth line of the poem.

Will there really be a morning is divided into 3 stanzas of four lines in a rhyme scheme of abab. The poem follows meter and rhyme a little more liberally as its theme is inquisitive and based on exploration. It sounds free, and ventures to find new things.
