Poems can be structured, with rhyming lines and meter. The rhythm and emphasis of a line is based on its syllabic beats (metrical structure) . Poems can also be in free verse which follows no formal structure.  \nA poem can be further divided into stanzas, which are the basic building blocks of a poem. A stanza is a grouping of lines, similar toa paragraph in prose. A stanza can be subdivided further into smaller units based on the number of lines it contains. For example, a couplet is a stanza with two lines, a quatrain contains 4 lines, etc.  \nA poem maybe rhyming or non-rhyming. The repletion of end sounds of two consecutive lines is called rhyming. It adds a musical quality toa poem. In poetry, imagery is the use of figurative language to evoke a sensory experience in the reader. When a poet employs imagery in its poem, it provides the reader with a sight that can be felt as real as it is seen.  \nPoems can be of the following types-  \n􀁸 Blank verse. Blank verse is poetry written with iambic pentameter that does not rhyme. It was popularized in early modern drama and in the plays of Shakespeare.  \n􀁸 Rhymed poetry. Rhymed poems rhyme by definition, although their scheme varies. If lines of iambic pentameter rhyme, they are known as “heroic couplets”.  \n􀁸 Free verse. Free verse poetry is poetry that lacks a consistent rhyme scheme, metrical pattern, or musical form.  \n􀁸 Epics. An epic poem is a lengthy, narrative form of poetry based on grand themes, characters and ideals. These long poems typically detail extraordinary feats and adventures of characters from a distant past. Epics have certain standards that must add to the grandeur of its theme & style.  \n􀁸 Narrative poetry. A narrative poem tells a story. It narrates a tale as if a story was being told in verse e.g Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”.  \n􀁸 Ode. An ode is a tribute to its subject, although the subject need not be dead—or even responsive, as in John Keats’ “Odeon a Grecian Urn”. Odes are tributes to the given subject. In ancient Greek literature, they were written in the form of poems composed in 3 stanzas-strophe, antistrophe and epode.  \n􀁸 Sonnet. A sonnet is a 14 line lyrical poem, typically (but not exclusively) concerning the topic of love. It originated in Italy and was later popularized in the whole of Europe. It has three popular forms-Petrarchan (ABBAABBA  \nCDCCDC/CDECDE/CDCDCD); English (ABABCDCDEFEF GG) and Spenserian (ABABBCBCCDCD EE) .  \n􀁸 Pastoral poetry. A pastoral poem is one that concerns the natural world, rural life, and landscapes. These poems were popular in ancient Greece, e.g. Pastoral poetry by Theocritus, and ancient Rome, e.g. Bucolics by Virgil. Elizabethan poets employed this genre greatly e.g. The Shepheardes Calender by Edmund Spenser. Pastoral poetry idealizes the natural world and depicts it in its pure glory & blissful life.  \n􀁸 8. Elegies. An elegy is a poem that is written upon someone’s death, that usually reflects upon death or loss. Traditionally, it contains themes of mourning, loss, and reflection. However, it can also explore themes of redemption and consolation.  \n􀁸 Pastoral elegy- a subgenre of pastoral poetry an elegy. It meditate on death in the setting of an idyllic rural life. Often, the pastoral elegy features shepherds. This form of poetry has several key features, like praise of the dead, the invocation of  \nthe Muse, expression of grief and the poet's simultaneous acceptance of death's inevitability and hope for immortality. It also features procession of mourners and rhetorical questions. In pastoral elegies, the deceased is often recast as a shepherd and is surrounded by classical mythology figures, such as nymphs, fairies, angels etc.  \n􀁸 Lyric poetry.
