Types of poetry

Narrative poems: Tell a story Epic poems: Long, heroic narrative poems Lyric poems: Often short and songlike in their

rhythms, lack plots, focus not a sequence of events from conflict to climax, but on a speaker’s response to a single event, object, situation or person.

Speaker and situation

Speaker is character or persona created by the author. Sometimes, the speaker may be identified with the author.

Some poems arise out of a clearly defined situation in which the speaker is addressing a particular person for a particular purpose.

Tone

The true subject of a lyric poem is a state of mind or attitude, known by the technical word, tone. Tone is a complex of interrelated attitudes, those of the speaker, writer and reader, toward the poem’s situation. A lyric communicates a tone or attitude about what it feels like to be in a particular situation.
