No matter what the subject matter is, there’s going to be a writing style for your needs.
Choose which style is perfect for your personalized poem.
Rhyming (Traditional)
This style resonates with everyone
Since kids reading Dr. Suess
Or even Chikca Chicka Boom Boom
In the classroom cutting loose
This is what most people think of
When they think about poetry style
The cadence and the rhyming
Are guaranteed to bring a smile
Free Verse
It’s about the feeling
Break free
Free of the rules, free of expectations, free of constructs
When emotions can’t be contained
Or the mood warrants for lower lights and contemplation
It’s about the feeling.
Haiku (Japanese short poem)
It’s five syllables
The second line has seven
Last line has five too
Acrostic
Poems that are acrostic
Operate by hiding the first letter or word in
Every line of the poem to create a
Memorable and personal poem
