  • Poetry is any kind of written text that focuses on sound. Poems are written in lines and stanzas (sets of lines). The syllables and words in a poem are put together in a specific way, giving it a particular rhythm called a meter -though there are poems that are free of form and may not have a regular meter. If by Rudyard Kipling is an example of a poem with a meter; The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot an example of one without. Sonnets and epic poems like the Iliad by Homer are also types of poems.
  • Prose is any kind of written text that isn't poetry. The most common types of prose are novels and short stories, while other types include biographies, memoirs, diaries, and journals. Prose is written in complete sentences and organized in paragraphs and focuses on plot and characters. Moby Dick by Herman Melville is an example of prose.
  • Drama is literature that is written in order to be performed. A work that is meant to be performed in the theater is called a play. Plays consists mainly of dialogue with some stage directions. Hamlet by William Shakespeare is an example of a play..
