Sa mga nagdaang chapter ng tip boon na ito, natalakay natin ang mga elemento ng poetry, iyon ay ang tatlong "S"— Sense, Sound at Structure of Poetry.

Sa pagkakataong ito, bibigyang diin naman natin ang iba't ibang types ng poetry.

Mayroong labing-limang common types of poetry namely:

— Haiku
— Pastoral Poetry
— Sonnet
— Elegies
— Ode
— Limerick

Ating isa-isahin ang mga ito starting off with;

Blank verse. Blank verse is poetry written with a precise meter—almost always iambic pentameter—that does not rhyme.

When a poem is written in iambic pentameter, it means each line contains five iambs—two syllable pairs in which the second syllable is emphasized.

Just to recall, we have tackled iamb meter in the previous chapters of this tip book. And it is a metrical foot consisting of one short (or unstressed) syllable followed by one long (or stressed) syllable.

To make it short, blank verse is a verse without rhyme, especially that which uses iambic pentameter.

William Shakespeare wrote his plays most in a blank verse.

Rhymed poetry. In contrast to blank verse, rhymed poems rhyme by definition, although their scheme varies.

A rhymed poem is a work of poetry that contains rhyming vowel sounds at particular moments. (Common vowel sounds are also known as “assonance”—not to be confused with “consonance” which refers to common consonant sounds. We tackled these in the previous chapters of the tip book.) There are many varieties of rhyming poetry within the English language, from sonnets to limericks to nursery rhymes.

Not all poetry rhymes, however. Blank verse, for instance, is a poetic form that features rhythmic rules (such as iambic pentameter) but no rhymes. Free verse makes no requirements for meter or rhyme.

Free verse. Free verse poetry is poetry that lacks a consistent rhyme scheme, metrical pattern, or musical form.

While free verse poems are not devoid of structure, they allow enormous leeway for poets, particularly when compared to more metrically strict forms like blank verse.

Free verse has also existed for centuries, but it rose in prominence during the nineteenth century and remains so to this day. It is not bound by rules of rhyme and meter, although lines of free verse may be interspersed with more formally structured lines.

Living poets who are writing poetry today are generally unburdened with rules of rhyme or meter. This effectively makes free verse more popular than ever, but if you look carefully, many of these supposedly “free” poems may have more structure than meets the eye.

To make it shorter, free verse is an open form of poetry.
