5. Different Types of Poetry
There are over 50 types of poetry. Poetry is categorized by the number of lines in the poem, the words in the poem, whether it rhymes or not, and what it is about.
Some types of poetry examples include haiku, free verse, sonnets, and name poems, although there are many more types as well. 

6. Haikus
Haikus are one category of poems. The haiku originated from Japan, It’s the shortest type of poem and, often, the most difficult to understand. It consists of three lines that generally do not rhyme. The lines should have five, seven, and five syllables in them.

7. Free Verse Poems
Free verse poems are another type of poetry. A free verse is the loosest type of poem. It can consist of as many lines as the writer wants. It can either rhyme or not, and it does not require any fixed metrical pattern. Free verse is commonly used among writers because it allows for maximum flexibility.

8. Sonnets
Sonnets are another classification of poetry. A sonnet is best described as a lyric poem that consists of fourteen lines. Sonnet’s have at least one or two conventional rhyme schemes. Shakespeare in particular was famous for writing sonnets.

9. Ode Poems
Poetry odes started back with the Greek poet Pindar, who invented them.
The word “ode” comes from the Greek word “oide” meaning “to sing or chant.” There are three types of odes and they are usually written about someone or something the poet admires or loves.
