Glorious spring, how amazing you are? You are both truth's beauty and light. ×Dramatic monologue: In this kind of poetry, poets usually use dramatic dialogues to captivate the reader's mind. Let's take an example in following stanza: Your affirmations are pointless. The world exists within and around you. The world does not care how you feel about it. This is the truth. * Occasional: The poetry which is written on any special occasion like wedding, war, death etc. Let's take an example of poem written on an occasion of wedding: A true voice of grace Hand of encouragement you place Always there, with smile In laughter, we escape for a while. Today, i celebrate a gift. God blessed me with in you! ×Sonet: The poems in this category are usually love songs written especially for movies, plays and dramas. Following is the sonet: The time will come When, with elation You will greet yourself arriving At your own door, in your own mirror And each with smile at other's welcome. *Narrative poetry: In this category, the poets usually pen poems based on topics which have great cause or reason. For an example, let's take a look into following stanza: It is the human soul entire, Squeezed like a lemon or lime, Drop by drop into atomic words. * Descriptive poetry: In this type of poetry, poems have a great lesson to be learnt. In Addition, descriptive poetry deals with great depiction of person, animals and inanimate person. Following stanza is an example of descriptive poetry: Soft upon my eyelashes Turning my cheeks to pink. Softly falling, falling Not a sound in air.
