Just like there are many different genres of fiction, there are many different forms of poetry. In today's post you will be exploring three of those types and analyzing the purpose of each type.
For sources beyond your book you may follow the following links:
Free Verse Poetry
Prose Poem
Lyric Poem (Note that Ode's are examples of Lyric poems, as well.)
In your post define each type of poem. What are the main differences between each type and main similarities? Search for an example of each type of poem. Analyze the overall purpose of the poem and how the FORM aids the poet in achieving their purpose.
Challenge: Choose a form and write a poem in that style.
