Firstly his style is quite distinctive, he uses a lot of imagery, synaesthesia, allusions to Greek myths and paradoxes (oxymorons).

The themes he focuses on are quite similar in his odes too, such as the co-existance of opposites in life (such as joy and pain), immortality vs mortality, etc.

Hope this helps. Best of luck!! ^_^
