Structures and Forms of Poetry
Poems can take many forms. Metered poetry is written with a specific syllable count in each line, with special attention to where the stressed and unstressed syllables fall to create a certain rhythm. This set rhythm creates flow, engages the reader and can spark positive emotions. Other types of poems consist of a specific number of lines and syllables, but are not metered, such as the haiku, cinquain and tanka. Free -verse poetry can be rhymed or unrhymed with no set meter, freeing the poet from restrictive rules. Concrete poems create a unique visual element in that the poem itself is shaped to support its theme. For instance, in Jack Prelutsky’s “I’m Stuck Inside a Seashell,” the words are arranged in a spiral, ending at the inside of the spiral, indicating “I have no where left to go.”
