A quatrain is a poem written in four, rhymed lines following a set pattern. They follow any one of four rhyme patterns (AABB, ABAB, ABBA, or ABCB). The poem usually has about the same number of poetic feet in each line. When quatrains are part of a longer poem, each group is called a stanza or "paragraph". There is a title if the quatrain stands alone.

The lizard is a mid thing (A) That cannot dance or fly or sing; (A) He hunts for bugs beneath the floor (B) And longs to be a dinosaur. (B)

WHAT IS A DIAMANTE?
A diamante – pronounced dee-uh-MAHN-tay – is an unrhymed sev-en-line poem. The beginning and ending lines are the shortest, while the lines in the middle are longer, giving diamante poems a diamond shape. “Diamante” is the Italian word for diamond, so this poetic form is named for this diamond shape.
Believe it or not, the diamante was invented just 40 years ago. It was created by an American poet named Iris McClellan Tiedt in 1969, and has become very popular in schools.
There are just a few rules to writing a diamante: Diamantes are seven lines long. The first and last lines have just one word.
The second and sixth lines have two words. The third and fifth lines have three words. And the fourth line has four words.
Lines 1, 4, and 7 have nouns. Lines 2 and 6 have adjectives. Lines 3 and 5 have verbs.
Here’s an easy way to visualize all three rules: Noun

Example:
Song of Myself by

I lean and loaf at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.

Clerihews have just a few simple rules:
1. They are four lines long.2. The first and second lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourthlines rhyme with each other. In other words, they have a rhyme scheme ofAABB3. The first line names a person, and the second line ends with somethingthat rhymes with the name of the person.4. A clerihew should be funny.
That is it! You do not have to worry about coun ng syllables or words, and you do not even have to worry about the rhythm of the poem.
——————————————————————————————————‐
Example:
Our art teacher, Mr. Shaw, Really knows how to draw.
*No ce that the first line ends with the name of the person the clerihew is about, Mr. Shaw. The second line ends with "draw" because it rhymes with "Shaw."
*To finish the clerihew, you need to write two more rhyming lines. In a well‐wri en cleri‐hew, those next two lines will make the poem funny, like this:
Our art teacher, Mr. Shaw, Really knows how to draw. But his awful pain ngs Have caused many fain ngs.

Essentially, a ballad is a poem that tells a story. The ballad is at the intersection of poetry and song, from traditional folk ballads crystal-lizing out of the mists of the ancient oral tradition to modern literary ballads in which poets use the old narrative forms to retell tradition-al legends or to tell stories of their own. It is a narrative, a story, written in poetry form.

By Edgar Allan Poe
“Wide Awake”
By Katy Perry
“How to Save a Life”
