What types of poetry are there?

(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

Poetry that doesn't necessarily rhyme is called prose poetry.  \n\nDo a search on Pablo Neruda and you'll see some very fine examples.\n\nEnjoy

Haiku\n\nhttp://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/\n\nThe metrical pattern of Haiku\n\nHaiku-poems consist of respectively 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units. In Japanese, this convention is a must, but in English, which has variation in the length of syllables, this can sometimes be difficult.\n\nhttp://www.ahapoetry.com/haiku.htm\n\nhttp://www.ahapoetry.com/keirule.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku\n\nGood luck for the future.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, UK.

Pablo Neruda' love poems can melt pages (if you can read Spanish. Sometimes the translators don't get it right).\n\n Personal fave Edgar Allan Poe's Eleonora.

Metaphor and alliteration are poetic devices, not poetic forms. Familiarize yourself with the terms and then read poems by whatever poet(s) strikes your fancy.

The following link lists all known published works by the classical poets. \n\nhttp://www.emule.com/poetry/?page=author_list \n\nMy favorite classic poets are:  Keats, Wadsworth-Longfellow, Wordsworth, Whitman, Chaucer, and Robert Frost.  And lets not forget the true word-smythe who crafted Beowulf. Wow!!! \n\nOf course, John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained", contain some pretty serious food for thought.  And, Pushkin's "An Invocation" is absolutely moving.\n\nAs far as understandability, I'd go with any one of the Bronte sisters.  Their works should be pretty easily translatable into current day terms.  \n____________________________________________________________\n\n" An Invocation"  \nby Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin \n\nO if it's true that in the night, \nWhen rest the living in their havens \nAnd liquid rays of lunar light \nGlide down on tombstones from the heavens, \nO if it's true that still and bare \nAre then the graves until aurora -- \nI call the shade, I wait for Laura: \nTo me, my friend, appear, appear! \n\nBeloved shadow, come to me \nAs at our parting -- wintry, ashen \nIn your last minutes' agony; \nEmerge in any form or fashion: \nA distant star across the sphere, \nA gentle sound, a puff of air or \nThe most appalling wraith of terror, \nI care not how: appear, appear!.. \n\nI call you -- not to speak my scorn \nOf people whose ill-fated malice \nHas killed my friend, and not to learn \nThe secrets of the nether-palace, \nAnd not because a doubt may tear \nMy heart at times... but as I suffer, \nI want to say that still I love her, \nThat still I'm yours: appear, appear!

I'm not sure of your question..... but there are volumes of good spiritual poetry available.... I enjoy some of the older poets.  If you go to http://www.ccel.org/ccel/bevan/tersteegen.toc.html   or just http://www.ccel.org you can read a bunch.... many of the older poems were to music - that's where the hymns came from!

poetry is writing in an arrangement of words in verse; especially, a rhythmical composition, sometimes rhymes, expressing facts, ideas or emotions in a style more concentrated, imaginative, and powerful than that of ordinary speech: some poems are in metre while others are in free verse.\n\nProse will be similar to that of ordinary people`s speech. A group of words that will be in paragraph which will be based on some cnetral theme.
