Poetry is one of the important art forms of literature,and is an easy way to express your feelings.Moreover,
everyone understands it in their own way.Some find relief in poems;some read them simply for peace;some read
poems for simple artistic pleasure.
There are some special features of poetry,which make it quite different from other forms of literature.First of
all,poems have rhythmic patterns.Generally,most parts of a poem follow the same form of rhythm.Poems may
have rhyme,but they don't have to.The lines are neatly arranged together so that they express a particular feeling
or emotion.
There can be various types of poems but according to the pattern or the form,there are mainly three types:
Lyrics:The lyric mainly concentrates on human thoughts and emotions rather than a story.Lyrics always bear
song-like appeal.These are mainly short poems.Popular lyric poem forms are the elegy,the ode and the sonnet.
William Shakespeare,Edmund Waller and John Keats are some of the greatest lyric writers of all times.
Narrative poems:This type of poetry tells a story.Narrative poems are usually long poems.Epics and ballads
fall under this type.Some of the greatest epic poets are John Milton,Dante,Edgar Allan Poe,Alexander Pope,
William Shakespeare,etc.
Dramatic poems:Any drama that is written in verse is a dramatic poem.These poems generally tell a story.
Black verse,dramatic monologues and closet drama belong to this type.William Shakespeare,Christopher
Marlowe and Ben Jonson are some of the great dramatic poets.
Whatever the form is,one thing,which,cannot be denied,is that poetry is one of the most powerful tools to
express our feelings.
