Divide according to expression
Divided into narrative poems and lyric poems. This is divided according to the expression of the content of the work.
ballad
There are relatively complete story lines and characters in poetry, which are usually expressed by the poet's passionate singing style. Epic, story poem and poetic novel all belong to this category. Ancient Greek Homer's epics such as Heriat and Odyssey; Story poems, such as Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang by China poet Li Ji; Don Juan by British poet Byron and yevgeni onegin by Russian poet Pushkin.
lyrics
Social life is mainly reflected by directly expressing the poet's thoughts and feelings, and it is not required to describe complete stories and characters. Such as love songs, carols, elegies, elegies, pastoral songs, satirical poems, etc. Narration and lyricism are not absolutely separated. Narrative poetry is also lyrical, but its lyricism requires close combination with narrative. Lyric poems often describe some fragments of life, but they can't be spread out, and they must obey the needs of lyricism.
Edit this paragraph according to the rhythm and structure of the language.

Metric poems are poems written according to certain formats and rules. It has strict rules on the number of lines, the number of words (or syllables), the tone and rhyme, the antithesis of words and the arrangement of sentence patterns. For example, China's ancient poems, quatrains, words and songs, and European sonnets.
Free verse
It is a newly developed poetic style in modern Europe and America. It is not limited by metrical rules, has no fixed format, pays attention to natural and internal rhythm, and uses rhymes roughly similar or without rhymes. The number of words, lines, sentence patterns and tones are relatively free, and the language is relatively popular. Whitman, an American poet (1819-1892), is the founder of European and American free verse, and Leaves of Grass is his main collection of poems. This poetic style has also become popular in China since the May 4th Movement.
Poetry in prose
It is a literary genre with the characteristics of both prose and poetry. There are poetic artistic conception and passion in the works, which are often full of philosophy, paying attention to the rhythm of nature and the beauty of music.
