    This document provides a chart comparing different types of poetry including narrative, lyric, ballad, elegy, epic, ode, and sonnets. Narrative poetry tells a story while lyric expresses feelings without telling a story. Ballads are song-like poems that narrate a story, and elegies are lyrical poems about someone who has died. Epics are long narrative poems focused on a hero, and odes praise objects or subjects. Sonnets follow specific rhyme schemes of either 8+6 lines or 4+4+4+2 lines. Free verse has little structure and unusual rhyme/meter, while acrostics spell words using the first letter of each line.

    Original Description:

    Includes ballad, epic, ode, elegy, sonnet and free verse
