Poetry is a literary genre that uses aesthetics and rhythmic qualities of language to evoke feelings and emotions, and a poem is what we call a piece of poetry.

There are so many different kinds of poems and it's almost impossible to define, but usually a poem ​is a piece of writing in which the words are chosen for their beauty and sound and are carefully arranged, often in short lines that rhyme.
​
Main elements of a poem
Picture
Title
The name of the poem.
​
Author/Poet
A person who writes poems. They usually leave their signature.

Stanza
A fixed number of lines of verse forming a unit of a poem.

Names for stanzas:
  • Couplet (2 lines).
  • Tercet (3 lines).
  • Quatrain (4 lines).
  • Cinquain (5 lines).
  • Sestet (6 lines).
  • Septet (7 lines).
  • Octave (8 lines). 
​
Space
A gap between stanzas.
​
Verse
A single line in a poem. It gives a structure to poetry form.
Here are the most common types of verses:
  • Rhymed verse: It's the most common and it usually has a metrical form that rhymes throughout.
  • Blank verse: It has no rhyme scheme. However, it has a consistent meter with 10 syllables in each line (pentameter); where, unstressed syllables are followed by stressed ones.
  • Free verse: It doesn't follow the rules, and has no rhyme. However, it's still an artistic expression.
​
Form
Here are the 3 most common types of poems according to form:
  • Lyrics poetry: It expresses personal emotions or feelings, typically spoken in the first person.
  • Narrative poetry: It's a form of poetry that tells a story, often making the voices of a narrator and characters as well.
  • Descriptive poetry: It describes the world that surrounds the speaker. It uses elaborate imagery and adjectives.
​
Rhyme
Words that end with similar sounds; usually at the end of a line. Rhyme is principally a function of sound rather than spelling. For example, words rhyme that end with the same vowel sound but have different spellings: right, kite, and  height. 

Here are some types of rhyme:
  • Perfect rhyme - The ending sound of each word matches exactly: soap and hope.
  • Rich rhyme - It involves words that are pronounced the same but are not spelled alike and have different meanings: break and brake.
  • Eye rhyme - Two words that look similar on a page, but do not actually rhyme in spoken pronunciation: move and love. 


Rhyme scheme
The pattern of rhymes at the end of each verse or line in poetry. ​

Here are some types of rhyme scheme:
  • Alternate rhyme: It follows the pattern ABAB CDCD EFEF and so on.
  • Ballade rhyme: It's a lyric poem that follows the rhyme scheme ABABBCBC.
  • Coupled rhyme: The rhymes occur in pairs, such as AABBCC.
  • Enclosed rhyme: The pattern is ABBA, in which A encloses the B.
​
Mood
Emotions involved in a poem.
​
Theme
This is what the poem is all about.
​
Centered
This is the way a poem is arranged on a page.

Capital letters
Each line of a poem must begin with capital letters.

I really like your explanation about.a free verse poem not following any rule but is still considered as an artistic expression. I'm interested in learning about poetry but I don't know what the basics of it are. I think I'm going to start reading more poetry so I hope I can find a website that has a large poetry collection.

To say that two lines rhyme means that the last word of each line rhymes. Adelaide the Elephant. An elephant climbed

Many poems rhyme. To say that two lines rhyme means that the last word of each line rhymes. Adelaide the Elephant. Thank you for sharing your great post!

There is also something called slant rhyme where words sound very similar but don't quite rhyme. In many cases the final consonant sound is the same but the final vowel sound is different. An example would be "fond" and "mend". Emily Dickinson used this type of rhyme scheme.
