Exploring the Wonders of Poetry: A Guide to Different Types of Poems-2

Hello everyone, hope you all are doing well. The is the continuation of the previous blog which was on different types of poetry. If you haven't read the blog which was previously posted I suggest you read that first then come back to this.

So, here are the other 5 types of poems:

Acrostic Poem - An Acrostic poem is a type of poem in which the first letter of each line spells out a word or phrase, often related to the main word or the key theme. The form can be simple or complex, depending on the skill and creativity of the poet. 

Rhyming Poem - A rhyming poem one of the most basic types of poems. It is a type of poetry that uses rhyme or a rhythmic effect. Rhyme can occur at the end of lines, or within lines. It can also use simple rhyming words such as 'cat' and 'mat'.

Limerick - A limerick is a type of humorous poem. It consists of five lines with a rhythm and rhyme scheme, often used to tell a short and humorous story. A limerick consists of three long lines and two short lines. The first two lines rhyme with each other, as do the last two lines, while the fifth line usually ends with a punchline that provides a humorous twist or surprise. The fifth line also rhymes with the first and second line. The rhyme scheme for a limerick is AABBA.

Ballad - A ballad is a form of poetry that tells a story, often with a strong focus on imagery. It typically consists of stanzas with rhyming words and often features a repeated line. Ballads have been around for hundreds of years, and were originally recited orally, often accompanied by music. They have traditionally been associated with folklore and the oral storytelling traditions of various cultures, but have also been used by poets to tell their own stories. 

Shape Poem - A shape poem is also known as a concrete poem. It is a type of poetry in which the arrangement of the text on the page is in the shape of an image, related to the topic of the poem i.e. in a shape poem, the text is arranged to form a visual representation of the subject of the poem. It creates a visual and poetic experience for the reader.

Well, that's all for now. Stay tuned for my next blog to know the examples for these poems. See you soon.
