The Universal Form

Generically there are some consistent patterns in poetry that seem to pop up somewhere in almost every culture. I can only write about them from the English perspective, however, these patterns are certain to show up in some form or another in whatever language poetry is written. These I call Universal Forms and share some of the more popular ones here.

The Frame
Ballad
Didactic
Epics
Light Verse
Odes
Parody
Sonnets
