Poetry is any kind of verbal or written language that is structured rhythmically and is
meant to tell a story, or express any kind of emotion, idea, or state of being. Poetry is
used to achieve this artistic expression in several ways. There are certain forms and
patterns that poets follow in the composition process of their work. These different forms
were birthed out of separate artistic and cultural movements. Most of these forms
coincide with the previously mentioned definition of poetry; and, the most popular of
these forms are elegy, narrative, ode, ballad, sonnet, villanelle, sestina, free verse, and
epic.
Different schools of poetry are each characterized by or associated with specific
styles of composition, and/or themes that give them their identities. However, these
themes and methods of composition are complex. Structure and technique to follow in
order to become inspired and compose poetry to achieve goals set for expression have
been problems for writers throughout history. There have been acclaimed works that
address these troubles written by credible writers, most notably Aristotle’s “Poetics,”
Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Philosophy of Composition,” and Sir Philip Sydney’s “The
Defense of Posey.” They each incorporate their respective writer’s ideas on how a poem
should be composed and structured, as well as how to evoke a catharsis or other emotion
from the reader, and they give the writer’s ideas on what a poem should contain in order
to classify it. It is mandatory that people meaning to be educated in poetry understand
these works in order to be able to comprehend and identify different poetic forms
