• Type - a poem may or may not have a specific number of lunes, rhyme/ scheme or metrical pattern, but it can still be labelled according to its form or style.
• Lyric poetry - it is any poem with one speaker who expresses strong thoughts and feelings.
• Narrative poem- it is a poem that tells a story; its structures resembles the plot lime of a story.
• Descriptive poem - it is a poem that describes the world that surrounds the speaker.
• Sound patterns - these are sometimes called sound play because they take advantage of the performative, spoken nature of poetry.
