Poetic Forms
This week, we explore different types of poetry, or poetic forms. A poetic form is a set of rules a certain type of poem follows. These rules can include how long a poem is, such as the number of lines or syllables the poem should have. They can also include the placement of rhymes and or the shape of a poem. While there are lots of different poetic forms with different rules, all poets pay special attention to sound and rhythm no matter what form they use.
