15 Types of Poetic Forms
From sonnets and epics to haikus and villanelles, learn more about 15 of literature’s most enduring types of poems.
1. Blank verse. Blank verse is poetry written with a precise meter—almost always iambic pentameter—that does not rhyme.
2. Rhymed poetry. In contrast to blank verse, rhymed poems rhyme by definition, although their scheme varies.
3. Free verse. Free verse poetry is poetry that lacks a consistent rhyme scheme, metrical pattern, or musical form.
I prefer and enjoy writing Rhymed poetry, Sonnets and Limerick’s - here’s one short example:
ONE DAY
Today is just one day
but I will love you forever
As you remain in heart,
we will never be apart,
when we finally live together
