here is a list of different poetic forms that might help you get started if you’re feeling a bit stumped, unsure, or it might give you a challenge if you want to try something new! <3
Blank verse: Blank verse is poetry written with regular metrical but unrhymed lines, almost always in iambic pentameter.
Examples:
Villanelle: The villanelle is a nineteen-line poetic form consisting of five tercets (3 lines) followed by a quatrain (4 lines). There are two refrains and two repeating rhymes, with the first and third line of the first tercet repeated alternately at the end of each subsequent stanza until the last stanza, which includes both repeated lines.
Examples:
do not go gentle into that good night by dylan thomas
10 villanelle poem examples to study
Haiku: The haiku is of ancient Japanese origin. It usually contains 17 syllables in 3 lines of five, seven, five (though modern examples do not systematically follow that pattern). Haiku poems typically contain references to nature.
Examples:
Sonnet: Traditionally, the sonnet is a fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter, employing one of several rhyme schemes, and adhering to a tightly structured thematic organization. The two main types of sonnets are the following:
• Shakespearean (or English) sonnet: three quatrains (4 lines) and a couplet (2 lines). Rhymes are ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG
• Petrarchan (or Italian) sonnet: divided into two stanzas, an octave (8 lines) followed by a sestet (6 lines). Rhymes are ABBAABBA + CDECDE or CDCDCD
Limerick: A limerick is a form of verse, usually humorous and frequently rude, in five-line, predominantly anapestic trimeter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the third and fourth lines are typically shorter.
Examples:
Elegy: A melancholy poem that serves the purpose of a lament for or a celebration of a deceased person.
Examples:
Elegies, Book One, 5 BY CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE
Lycidas, BY JOHN MILTON
Because I could not stop for Death, BY EMILY DICKINSON
Ode: An ode is a lyrical poem that expresses praise, glorification, or tribute, with the subject matter being a person, event, or idea. Classic odes contain three sections: a strophe, an antistrophe, and an epode—effectively a beginning, middle, and end.
Example:
Ode on a Grecian Urn, by JOHN KEATS
Concrete poem: Also known as visual poetry, it is essentially poetry which is shaped in a certain way which adds to its meaning.
Found poem: Found poetry is a form of poetry in which you create a poem by cutting up, remixing, or otherwise transforming an existing piece of text. (you can use dialogue from the show/scripts?)
Blackout poetry: Blackout poetry is the process out taking an already existing piece of text and blacking out the words save for a few select ones that take on new meaning.

I need to update it and add a few things, but the top section is a list of all my favorite plays with summaries provided by moi. Best place to start is to just read those summaries and see what sparks your interest!

The answer to this, no matter how prescriptive, can only be disguised autobiography. In one of the only “scientifically” useful things I ever posted to this website in 10 years, I recalled to the best of my ability what I was actually assigned to read in high-school English in a massive suburban public high school in the mid-to-late 1990s. I thought posting actual information would be better than the crude generalizations people (including me) usually make on this subjects. I was 17 between 11th and 12th grades, so you can see from the list what I read in school: 20th-century American literature at the end of 11th grade and a very selective world-literature curriculum in 12th grade consisting mainly of Sophocles, Beowulf, Chaucer, and Shakespeare.
Extracurricularly, I think of the summer between 11th and 12th grade—so the summer of my 17th year—as one of the most important in my reading life. This was where I made the final break with childish things. I had read comic books and genre fiction (not always but often very good: Ray Bradbury, Alan Moore) and a smattering of popular realism (Johns Steinbeck and Irving for preference) until then. But in that late spring and early summer, partially in school but mostly out of it, that I read not only Hemingway and Fitzgerald but also Melville (“Bartleby,” Billy Budd), Faulkner (As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury), Morrison (Beloved, Paradise), Rushdie (The Ground Beneath Her Feet, The Satanic Verses), and DeLillo (Underworld).
These novels—along with the poetry I enjoyed (Keats, Eliot) and the monumental example set by Shakespeare (above all Hamlet and Lear)—ruined me forever for both fantasy and realism in their popular forms. I made instead a compact with the broad modernist tradition, which I can explain using that ever-“problematic” form/content distinction. Literature’s proper content is experience, life, history, reality, “a shout in the street,” not a wholly fantasized invention, not some other world that you “build”; form is your true arena of invention, the place you transfigure the real with your own sensibility and give the audience something new. This is what I learned on that magical, torrid, stormy summer; as I’ve recalled elsewhere, a storm put the power out for three days in July, so for three sweaty days in July I read Underworld by candlelight.
In this period I also began reading literary criticism seriously. The Western Canon was useful encouragement—I don’t buy Bloom’s theory overall, but he was always good to me as a rhapsode—and, more importantly, Sexual Personae, though I might have discovered that one at the beginning of my 18th year, I don’t quite remember the winter month. If the modernists from Melville to DeLillo shaped my commitments and concerns as a writer, I would say Paglia in concert with Morrison determined my social and political sensibility. They assured that I would never properly be right-wing or left-wing: the one side consisting of metaphysicians who would bar whole categories of person from the universe, the other side cultists of the demiurge who believe there is no limit whatsoever to reason’s design on nature and the spirit.
Now would I recommend that course of reading to a 17-year-old? Not any one book in particular, though in my years teaching in an English department, often to high-school students taking college courses, I introduced Shakespeare, Melville, Morrison, and DeLillo to many a 17-year-old (see my syllabi here and my online lectures here). More important is the level of reading; I hate when teachers patronize students, giving out what are essentially children’s books, or, worse, crude political polemics, in the first year of college.
The replies to the Tweet are dire in this regard—so many recommendations of the wretched Vonnegut. I couldn’t stand him as a teen and only forced my way through one of his books a few years ago so I could cogently explain why I hated it. His homespun nihilism and smug pseudo-naive prose make me vomit. I didn’t care for Salinger or Kerouac as a kid either. I came to appreciate them later but suspect at this late date they require a historical sensibility to enjoy. The world might be too different now for their styles to register to youth as immediate critique or relevant vitalism. For that kind of thing, I imagine today’s teens rely on online schizoposts. I like those too; just make sure you get to Hamlet eventually; hell, he schizoposts four or five times in that play.

Wait for it....
“Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.” There is doubtless truth in the poet's assertion, but it is also true that many readers of good poetry and prose gain a great deal from hearing literary works read well. The gain is both aesthetic and intellectual as the listener appreciates more clearly the rhythm, tone, and emphasis of the work he is listening to as well as reading.
The belief that excellent literary recordings offer the student both aesthetic and intellectual stimulation has led to the establishment this year of a listening room for Bob Jones University literature students. Recorded works available include dramas, narrative and lyric poems, short stories, and selections from novels.
Authors represented in the present collection include such poets as Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Dryden, Coleridge, Browning, Keats, and Wallace Stevens; playwrights like Euripides and Shakespeare; and prose writers Poe, Hawthorne, Crane, and Hemingway. The recording artists are among the best interpreters of the present age.
Michael Redgrave, John Gielgud, Anthony, Quayle, Basil Rathbone, Judith Anderson, Pamela Brown, Edith Evans, and many others.
The listening room is equipped with four large study tables, each of which has eight stations. At present there are two turn-tables; eventually two tape recorders will be added to the facilities, making it possible for four recordings to be playing at one time.
The room is intended primarily for students to use during their study time. It will, however, be available for teachers to use during class periods when they wish to lecture on works included in the record collection.
This was not-at-all used by the time the 80s rolled around. But this? ...
It is estimated that the male population on the BJU campus gets at least 25,000 haircuts a year in Greenville. At the rate of $1.75 per haircut, some $38, 750 will be spent at local barber shops by students this school year.

In the mid days of autumn, on their eves
The breath of Winter comes from far away,
And the sick west continually bereaves
Of some gold tinge, and plays a roundelay
Of death among the bushes and the leaves,
To make all bare before he dares to stray
From his north cavern.
John Keats, from “Isabella; or The Pot of Basil,” in Selected Poems (Bloomsbury Poetry Classics).

John Keats: The Complete Poems (Penguin Classics)
The complete poems of an English master
Keats's first volume of poems, published in 1817, demonstrated both his belief in the consummate power of poetry and his liberal views. While he was criticized by many for his politics, his immediate circle of friends and family immediately recognized his genius. In his short life he proved to be one of the greatest and most original thinkers of the second generation of Romantic poets, with such poems as 'Ode to a Nightingale', 'On First Looking into Chapman's Homer' and 'La Belle Dame sans Merci'. While his writing is illuminated by his exaltation of the imagination and abounds with sensuous descriptions of nature's beauty, it also explores profound philosophical questions.

Selected Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley
Selected Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley
Like his great contemporaries, John Keats and Lord Byron, Shelley suffered an untimely death, but still managed to stun the world with a wide-ranging body of work, including poetry, drama, and criticism. His poetry is that of a young man, a lover of nature and fiercely critical of institutionalized corruption, and virtuosic in his use of language and imagery.
Anthologist George Herbert Clarke…
