I want to know about Enlish poems

The question you post is far too broad to be answered well. If you can narrow it down it can help your search...such as limiting by era or time period. The tool you may want to use is called a search engine.

Try doing an Internet search at wikipedia at http://www.wikipedia.com or at Google at http://www.google.com Then type in the keywords English poetery.

Re: I want to know about Enlish poems


Why not look up Shakespeare on google?

Hi.

There are several forms of poetry that could be considered English.

I know a few. If you could be more specific about exactly what you're looking for, I would be happy to help you.

The first type of English poetry brought to mind was the English or Shakespearean sonnet. Is that what you are talking about?

Can you suggest me 1 type of English poetry and give me an example. I wish to know how the rythm, verse goes or the limit of a sentence.
Are Shakespeare's works considered poems? In my country, Vietnam, we call his works theatrical plots
Please enlighten me

OK. BRB.

This is a Shakespearean sonnet.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

A sonnet is a particular type of poem.

Shakespeare wrote some, other people wrote some.

It's named for Shakespeare because he changed the sonnet a tad from the way sonnets had been written previously.

Shakespearean sonnets have

14 lines

three quatrains

and a couplet at the end.

They are written in iambic pentameter.

I think you should google all of these words you're about to ask me to define, as Mr Shakespeare and I are currently locked in our own little death match.

Good luck.
