There are three types of poetry.
1. Lyrical Poetry
2. Narrative Poetry
3. Dramatic Poetry
1. Lyrical Poetry:
a short poem expressing the thoughts and feelings of single speaker. Often a poet will write a lyric in the first person, but not always. Instead, a lyric might describe an object or recall an experience without speaker's ever bringing himself or herself into it. "Lyric" will usually apply to a kind of poem you can easily recognise.
2. Narrative Poetry:
Although a lyrics sometimes relates an incident, or like "Piano" draw a scene, it does not relate a series of events. That happens in a narrative poem one whose main purpose is to tell a story. Evidently the art of narrative poetry invites the skills of a writer of fiction: the ability to draw characters and setting briefly to increase attention, to save a plot.
3. Dramatic Poetry:
Third kind of poetry is dramatic poetry, which presents The Voice of an imaginary any additional narration by the author a dramatic poem, according to T.S. Eliot, does not consist of: "what the poet would say in his own person, but only what he can see within the limits of one imaginary characters addressing and other imaginary characters".
but the term most often refers to the dramatic monologue, a poem written as a speech made by characters (other than the author) at same decessive moment.
