4. Limerick

5. ODE
work of art that expresses high praise; odes usually express elevated emotion, and are often used to praise a leader or a work of art.
Example
Friederich Schiller’s Ode to Joy was a classical ode in praise of happiness itself, an optimistic poem envisioning brotherhood for all mankind. The poem would not have been particularly noteworthy (Schiller himself regarded it as a failure) but for the fact that Beethoven set it to music as part of his 9th Beethoven’s triumphant melody has become one of the most recognizable works of classical music in the world.

6. Free Verse

Example:
Fog by Carl Sandburg
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

"An Acrostic" by Edgar Allan Poe...
Elizabeth it is in vain you say
"Love not" - thou sayest it in so sweet a way:
In vain those words from thee or L. E. L.
Zantippe's talents had enforced so well:
Ah! if that language from thy heart arise,
Breathe it less gently forth - and veil thine eyes.
Endymion, recollect, when Luna tried
To cure his love - was cured of all beside -
His folly - pride - and passion - for he died.

12. Sonnet
is a fourteen line poem with a fixed rhyme scheme ; five sets of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables for a ten-syllable line.
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear: “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
