Poetry Genres

- Poetry comes from the Greek word "poiesis," meaning "making."

- Ballad: A narrative poem that can be sung.
- Burlesque: A mock-epic poem presented melodramatically.
- Epic: A long narrative poem about a legendary hero.
Lyric Poem

- Elegy: A mournful poem honoring the dead.
- Haiku: A seventeen-syllable poem using natural imagery to express emotion.
- Sonnet: A fourteen-line poem in iambic pentameter (a specific rhythm scheme), e.g., Shakespearean (abab cdcd efef gg) or Petrarchan (abbaabba cdcdcd).
