Although most people seem to restrict themselves to one kind, there are actually many different types of poems. The main poetry types are free verse and rhymed verse, but within these two subdivisions there is an incredible amount of variety. Free verse is a great place to start if you’re unfamiliar with poetry. It is the freest type of poetry because there are no rigid structures for form or  content. You can make it as long or short as you want to, use internal rhymes when you want, or even write it in paragraphs. This incredible freedom allows you to explore your creative powers to your full potential.
