According to Merriam Webster Dictionary (2013), poetry is defined as productions of a poet, in metrical writing (verse) or writings that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm. The end product of a poetry frequently embodies the beauty of expression alongside its deep intrinsic meaning.

o   Concrete
o   Confessionals
o   Free Verse
o   Elegies (mourning and lamenting)
o   Epic
o   Epigram
o   Haiku (very short form of Japanese poetry)
o   Sonnet (Shakesperean and Latin)
o   Villanelle ( nineteen-line poetic form consisting of five tercets followed by a quatrain)
 

 
My definition of poem :
 
 Poem is the way you express something such as love, hate, longing and other feelings that related to you and others  using the elements of poem such as stanza, rhythm, meter and others.
 
 


Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.  ~Plato, Ion
