A long narrative poem telling of a hero's deeds is called an epic poem. I haven't read anything by Virgil, but Homer certainly does that, so he'd be the writer of an epic poem.\n\nI'm not sure if that makes him an epic poet, though..

Latin, originally.  \n\n"The syllable names come from a formerly well-known medieval hymn, entitled Ut queant laxis, in which each successive musical phrase, corresponding to a half line of the first verse, starts on the next higher scale degree in the major scale. The first syllable in each half line corresponds to the solfege syllable, with the exception of the first, "Ut," which was changed to the more singable "Do." The original hymn did not start a phrase upon the seventh scale degree. To fill in this gap, at a later time the Ti (or sometimes Si) was added to the repertoire."

It has one syllable.\n\nAre you a native speaker?  You should be able to hear how many syllables there are when you pronounce the word, because speakers of any language have a feeling for the timing of that language.  Try tapping your hand, clapping, or snapping your fingers in time with the word, and count the taps.

If the poet uses the same consonant to start  a string of words, it is called alliteration.\n\nIf he  uses the same vowel sounds, that is assonance.\nIf he uses several words which end in  the same consonant\nbut do not necessarily have the some vowel sound,\nit is called consonance.\n\nEven if the poet was writing  a beautiful fiber filled poem about \nfruit, he would not likely say banana and pear and orange.\nNothing rhymes with orange, blah blah.

There's probably several...so, can't help you there...however, if you remember a particular line from one of your poems, you can probably do a general search and find the exact website.  Like, say you go to Yahoo search, type in your line, it may show you where to go.  It probably wouldn't hurt to throw in your user name in the search either

Don't stress too much - a poem does not have to rhyme. Write down a few quick impressions, organize them in a certain order, use symbolism (such as a rose - "a rose by any other name" in full bloom - 1st love, then fading, the petals dropping one by one, etc)pull it together. It does not have to be sappy. Good luck.

Lyric poetry is a form of poetry that does not attempt to tell a story, as do epic poetry and dramatic poetry, but is of a more personal nature instead. Rather than portraying characters and actions, the lyric poet addresses the reader directly, portraying his or her own feelings, states of mind, and perceptions.

See also foot, meter.\n\nFoot The metrical unit by which a line of poetry is measured. A foot usually consists of one stressed and one or two unstressed syllables. An iambic foot, which consists of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable ("away"), is the most common metrical foot in English poetry. A trochaic foot consists of one stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable ("lovely"). An anapestic foot is two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed one ("understand"). A dactylic foot is one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones ("desperate"). A spondee is a foot consisting of two stressed syllables ("dead set"), but is not a sustained metrical foot and is used mainly for variety or emphasis.

It depends. Some poems do, others don't, and in some it's debatable.\n\nPoetry is a highly fluid art form and as such can be expressed in numerous ways.\n\nSome modern types of poetry are extremely similar to prose and as such will have narrative structure.\n\nEpic poetry is a great example of poetry which has narration of an event inherent within it's structure.
