Here are six examples of classic poem styles
Haiku
The rough barked trees
Full of rich vibrant colors
Spring has come around
Tanka
The Derek Jayden
Epic master of his craftTies his shoe laces
Mind set on the finish line
Eight Hundred meter begins
Lyric
There once was a big fat lady
Who worked in the Navy
Her weight made her not want to date
Do to the weight, she had to wait
And over that time of wait,
She had lost some weight
Then she had several dates
And of those dates,
One determines her fate
Limerick
There was a dog named Susie
She was feeling a little woozy
She felt so sick
Because she ate a stick
Poor little old Susie
Free Verse
The rain comes
On the silent streets
It hits the ground
All over the city
On top of roof tops
The rain continues to splash.
Sonnet
Out of the Earth, a bud of life
Deep purple, small and delicate
Free from captivity and strife
Young buds rising intimate
Sweet morning breeze, it smells so great
So red the rose, so red and bright
A figment of beauty to grow and separate
Hypnotizing like a flash of light.
To grow for awhile, only to go away
For always in my heart
To think they won’t stay
They start to fall apart.
The death of the rose
Brings the birth of the crows.
