3.)Types of PoetryBallad:
This is an old style of writing poetry, which was used to tell stories. A balladusually has stanzas made up of either seven or eight or ten lines, and ends with a shortfour or five line stanza. Each stanza ends with the same line, which is called ‘a refrain’.
Couplet:
Perhaps the most popular type of poetry used, the couplet has stanzas made upof two lines which rhyme with each other.
Quatrain:
This kind of poem has four lines in a stanza, of which the second and fourthlines rhyme with each other and have a similar syllable structure.
Cinquain:
This is another unique type of poetry style. As the name suggests, it is madeup of five lines. The first line is just one word, which is often the title of the poem. Thesecond line has two words which describe the first line. The third line has three words,and is mostly the action part of the poem. The fourth line is four words describing thefeelings. And the fifth line, again, has just one word which is the title of the poem.
Iambic Pentameter:
This is a very complicated style of writing poetry, but was oftenused by classical poets. This style uses the syllable stresses to create the musical sound.There is one short sounding syllable followed by one long sounding syllable, at the end of each of the five stanzas in a row.
Sonnet:
This type of poem contains fourteen lines and follows conventional structures of rhyme.
Haiku:
This is again a very structured method of writing poetry. This has its origins inJapan. This method does not use rhyme. There are three lines of five, seven and fivesyllables each. The poem must essentially talk about some aspect of Nature.

This is a method of writing poetry, which does not essentially follow anystructure or style. There is no fixed meter and no structure regarding rhyme and lines ineach stanza.
