A poem is a verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way, characterized by the use of language chosen for its sound and suggestive power and by the use of literary techniques such as meter, metaphor, and rhyme.\nA composition in verse rather than in prose.\nA literary composition written with an intensity or beauty of language more characteristic of poetry than of prose.\nA creation, object, or experience having beauty suggestive of poetry.\n\nThe word poem is a derived word.  There isn't one famous writer or composer affiliated with the creation of this word.

Introduction or prologue - they pretty much mean the same thing.  Preface is another possibiity.  Exposition  could also be correct, but it usually refers to the first part of a musical composition.

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.

Hi! Well, I've been writing poems for quite some time, and what I can say is, those are two very different mediums of literature. Genres even. Good stories have to have plots, dialogue, events, climaxes, conclusions, etc. Not all people find making those easy or enjoyable. \n\nPoetry is usually shorter, and even more dense. There is something in choosing the best words in the best arrangement to produce a poem. It is short, sweet, deep, beautiful and to the point. It is more free. Where a story has to tell a story, A poem can merely describe, narrate, or say something important or utterly nonsensical. \n\nWe poets, also love the power of words. We don't use long sentences; we use the line, the stanza. Each word is carefully chosen. We love their sounds, symbolisms and all. \n\nThat is why we write poems. Do write some!

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.

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.

One of the main ways the poem speaks' (the Diction?) is through the rhythm. It is slow and unhurried like the footsteps of the people carrying Sir John and like the drum beat at a funeral.  Otherwise there isn't a lot of imagery.  There is the 'struggling moonlight' perhaps an image of their own struggle in Battle.  The words are all short and clear, like a soldiers, and like his own funeral with no pomp though he was a hero.
