Lyric PoetryLyric poetry focuses on creating a mood or recreating a feeling. These types of poems are often short and convey the emotions and feelings of the author. For example, they may express feelings about childhood memories of places or events.

There are many di�erent types of lyric poetry. Some examples include sonnets (which have 14 lines), odes (which are dedicated to a speci�c thing), and elegies (which are often mournful).

The words of many old and modern songs are forms of lyric poetry. Hymns and love songs are good examples of song writers expressing their feelings through lyric poetry.
