distance to cover before I settle in
for the night, or else I will be late
for all of them.

To ask if there’s some mistake.

expresses strong thoughts and
feelings. Most poems, especially
modern ones, are lyric poems.
9/3/20XX Presentation Title 21
 TYPES
1. Lyric

lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

- William Shakespeare
9/3/20XX Presentation Title 22

 TYPES
2. Narrative

Black and murderous, that cost the Greeks Incalculable

pain, pitched countless souls
Of heroes into Hades' dark,
And left their bodies to rot as feasts
For dogs and birds, as Zeus' will was done.
- The Iliad by Homer

 TYPES
3. Descriptive Poem
Her hair as dark as midnight
Sleek and wavy, trailing down.
Her skin as pale as moonlight
Projects a silvery glow all around.
The night so cool and quiet,
As the stars twinkle in the sky.
