Haiku Poems

Matshuo Basho

In the twilight rain

These brilliant-hued hibiscus -

A lovely sunset.

Yosa Buson

In the moonlight,

The color and scent of the wisteria

Seems far away.

Lewis Borja

Shutting people out

Makes me more comfortable

For i feel secured

Free Verse Poems

Li-Young Lee

Excerpt from Little Father

I buried my father in my heart.

Now he grows in me, my strange son,

My little root who won't drink milk,

Little pale foot sunk in unheard-of night,

Little clock spring newly wet

in the fire, little grape, parent to the future

Wine, a son the fruit of his own son,

Little father I ransom with my life.

Lewis Borja

A Love That Lasts

My heart sinks

as I watch the sun

being eaten by the sea/

Another day will come,

Everything could change

My love for you will never be.

Sonnets

William Shakespeare

Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments.

Love is not love

Which alterswhen it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on the tempests and is never shaken;

A Poem for Alexis

"Alexis seems quite shy and somewhat frail,

Leaning, like a tree averse to light,

Evasively away from here delight.

X-rays, though, reveal a sylvan sprite,

Intense as bright bird behind her veil,

Singing to the moon throughout the night."

A Poem for Lewis

Loving child of God,

Endless laughter he has.

With his look and smile,

In his greatness bears much, yet,

So loving and tender.

Different Types of Poetry

wants. It can either rhyme or not, and it does not require any fixed metrical pattern. Free verse is commonly used among writers
because it allows for maximum flexibility.

Sonnets are another classification of poetry. A sonnet is best described as a lyric poem that consists of fourteen lines. Sonnet’s have
at least one or two conventional rhyme schemes.

Name Poems are popular among children and are often used in schools. The name of the person becomes the poem. Each letter in
the name is the first letter in the line of the poem.
