Types of poetry

 Types of poetry:-

 There are 15 types of poetry.

1. Blank verse- Blank verse is poetry mostly written with a iambic pentameter—that does not rhyme.
2. Rhymed poetry- rhymed poems rhyme,  their scheme varies.
3. Free verse- Free verse poetry is poetry that lacks a consistent rhyme scheme, metrical pattern, or musical form. (Free verse poetry has no rules)
4. Epics. An epic poem is a lengthy, narrative work of poetry. These long poems generally detail extraordinary feats and adventures of characters from past.
5. Narrative poetry- a narrative poem tells a story.  Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is an example of this form.
6. Haiku- A haiku is a three-line poetic form originating in Japan. The first line has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, and the third line again has five syllables.
7. Pastoral poetry- A pastoral poem describes the natural world, rural life, and landscapes.
8. Sonnet- A sonnet is a 14 line poem, typically (but not exclusively) concerning the topic of love. Sonnets contain internal rhymes within their 14 lines; the exact rhyme scheme depends on the style of a sonnet.
9. Elegies- An elegy is a poem that reflects upon death or loss. It can also explore themes of redemption and consolation. 
10. Ode- Much like an elegy, an ode is a tribute to its subject, although the subject need not be dead—or even sentient.
11. Limerick- A limerick is a five-line poem that consists of a single stanza, an AABBA rhyme scheme, and whose subject is a short tale or description.
12. Lyric poetry- Lyric poetry refers to the broad category of poetry that concerns feelings and emotion. This distinguishes it from two other poetic categories: epic and dramatic. 
13. Ballad- A ballad (or ballade) is a form of narrative verse that can be either poetic or musical. It typically follows a pattern of rhymed quatrains. 
14. Soliloquy- A soliloquy is a monologue in which a character speaks to him or herself, expressing inner thoughts that an audience might not otherwise know. Soliloquies are not definitionally poems, although they often can be.
15. Villanelle- A nineteen-line poem consisting of five tercets and a quatrain, with a highly specified internal rhyme scheme. Originally a variation on a pastoral, the villanelle has evolved to describe obsessions and other intense subject matters.
