(This was actually a question on Yahooligans!)\n\nDear Earl,\nWhat types of poetry are there?\nNajee, Age 12 \n\nDear Najee,\nThere are so many types of poetry that I couldn't list them all! One of my favorites is the haiku, a Japanese poetry form that usually doesn't rhyme. Haikus are only 17 syllables and three lines long! Another short poem style is the cinquain, which is only five lines. One funny kind of rhyming poetry is the limerick. I bet you knew William Shakespeare wrote plays like Romeo and Juliet, but did you know he wrote poetry too? Shakespeare wrote many sonnets -- poems that are 14 lines with a precise rhyming pattern. Our poetry category has lots of poetry you can explore -- maybe you'll want to write your own! \n\nEarl

If your looking for an epic poem, try Evangeline. It was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about a maiden and a search for her lover. It's based upon the expulsion of Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755. The poem is long, but I highly recommend it.

Lol, where do you go to school person that answered the question first.  You put it paranthesis, ( Like this ), and page number like if I wanted to quote Shakespear from Macbeth ( Shakespeare, 45 ). But the book Macbeth must be in References or Works Cited.

Sonnet 18, "Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers Day" is a good starting place. If you like that passage, try "A Midsummer Night's Dream". \n\nhttp://www-tech.mit.edu/Shakespeare/midsummer/full.html\n\nBe warned. Shakespeare seemed to hide a lot in his writings. The Bard is bawdy.\n\nhttp://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1739819,00.html\n\nAlso, for an easier read that is full of wit, sarcasm and humor, try Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain. "Life On The Mississippi" is one of my favorite reads.

Othello.  He was the poor sucker who was duped by that Iago and ended up losing a wonderful, sweet woman in Desdemona.

The English language has changed in many ways since Shakespeare's day, but he has been the standard of excellence for so long that there is less difference between his writing and contemporary writers than there is between someone else who wrote during his time and today's writers.  His themes have been used, and his details examined, for all that time.\n\nThe best way to understand Shakespeare is to get DVDs of movies like "The Taming of the Shrew" with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, or "Romeo and Juliet" with Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting, that use the actual words of his plays.  They will give you a visual image and the emphasis on his words that you need in order to understand.  Unfortunately, we seldom see modern actors and actresses in America who know how to do Shakespeare well; the English have kept up with him better.  Try DVDs from BBC.  (All these initials!)  \n\nThe language is not that different, really; but the poetic nature of Shakespeare's plays adds to the difficulty.  Still, the effort to understand is worth it, because then you will see the point behind many more recent stories that have adapted the Shakespearean themes.\n\nEnjoy!

Shakespeare in his day was considered populist - in the same way Jerry Springer is populist today. He put bums on seats.\n\nErnst Hemingway was obsessed with the 'quest for meaning' - very existentialist, overhyped stuff.\n\nShakespeare's genius was that he popularised relationships.\n\nHemingway's genius was that he popularised 'neurosis'.\n\nI'd go for Shakespeare's relationships more than Hemingway's Freudian "I'm-so-lonely-and-highly-strung" nonsense anyday.

King Lear is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies.   The whole play is about lack of compromise.  \n\nGoneril poisoned her sister Regan and then killed herself.  These sites should be quite helpful to you.  Best of luck with your work.

My goodness.   This is a very interesting poem about how we are lied to throughout our lives and have to deal with those facts.  It would fit astonishingly well into any media studies course and am glad to have read it.  Tis true that Walter Raleigh was in Queen Elizabeth's command and was held in the tower.  The first respondant had excellent points, but after that... there were few comments that made sense.  Sorry folks.\n\nIt is most assuredly not about SEX!!  Except that we might lie to get it.  The point is that lies are imbedded into our very framework.  We cannot speak a truth.  Wit does get tiresome.  Beauty is used for naught.  There is nothing that is singularly GOOD- and Raleigh discovers it with a lovely cadence.  The repeptitive nature of "Tell them the lie" can be seen as a stab at church and country, but it goes deeper than than.  He mocks consumers and landowners.  Everyone is lying and he knows it.\n\nWhat I mean is simple that when people attempt to define something by using Good or Bad, they are intrinsically wrong.\n\nI hope you do well in your life and take the time to read lots of poetry.

I was read a poem by Pablo Neruda that was amazing. (Of course I was so overwhelmed I don't remember much of it) I would stay away from Shakespeare.  I love the bard, but it's really cliche.  Don't just look at poems, there are some song lyrics that if they were said to me (knowing he meant them) would do just as much as any poem. (Mostly Ben Harper, Dave Mathews, and Kermit). Just know what she likes.

Othello was a play written by Shakespeare (Elizabethan England) but I believe he set the play in one of his exotic undefined times/places.\n\nIf you're interested in clothing, an interesting way to approach this paper might be to contrast costuming - I'm guessing the film version titled Othello probably uses traditional Shakespearean costuming while the "O" probably uses modern clothing?
