Any imaginative writting arranged in a pattern of lines mybe a poem. The lines often rhyme,but not always.
Most poem also have rhythm.And they use words in a ways that get you to notice
and feel things in a special way.We usually divide poetry into two main types:
narrative poems and lyric poems.Narrative poems tell a story. One of the oldest
type of poem is the EPIC. An epic is the long verse tale that usually tells about
the hero and the adventures of the hero. Lyric poem suggest an emotion or feeling
they are usually shorter than a narrative poems. The japanese Haiku is a kind of
lyric poem. It is only 17 syllables long.
