Hello Aesthetes!

Officially, there are three main types of poetry. You may know of the philosopher Aristotle, or heard his name in passing and never really known what the dude was about. His writings formed the basis for much of Western philosophy, covering everything from biology, zoology and metaphysics to ethics, government, and poetry. He lived from 384 BC to 322 BC, further proof of just how old (and wise) poetry is.
It was upon his philosophy that the three still-standing categories of poetry were established: lyric (expresses personal emotions, usually in the first person), dramatic (describes an event or situation, normally a story told out loud to teach something) and epic (covers topics around culture, patriotism or heroic deeds, typically a lengthy, character-led narrative).
