There are three genres : lyric, narrative and dramatic.

Example :

·         Lyric Poetry

Exressing emotion through song lyric verse

 

Elizabeth Alexander, "Praise Song for the Day"

"Why were you born when the snow was falling? 

You should have come to the cuckoo’s calling, 

Or when grapes are green in the cluster, 

Or, at least, when lithe swallows muster 

For their far off flying 

From summer dying." 

 

·         Narrative Poetry

A narrative poem tells a story. Typically, these can be read aloud and will maintain the audience's attention due to their rhythmic movement.

 

Edgar Allan Poe, “The Raven”

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-

Only this and nothing more."

 

·         Dramatic Poerty

Dramatic poetry encompasses a highly emotional story that's written in verse and meant to be recited. It usually tells a story or refers to a specific situation.

 

Robert Browning, “My Last Duchess”

That's my last Duchess painted on the wall,

Looking as if she were alive. I call

That piece a wonder, now; Fra Pandolf's hands

Worked busily a day, and there she stands.

Will't please you sit and look at her? I said

"Fra Pandolf" by design, for never read

Strangers like you that pictured countenance,

The depth and passion of its earnest glance,

But to myself they turned (since none puts by

The curtain I have drawn for you, but I)

And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,

How such a glance came there; so, not the first

Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, 'twas not

Her husband's presence only, called that spot

Of joy into the Duchess' cheek; perhaps

Fra Pandolf chanced to say, "Her mantle laps

Over my lady's wrist too much," or "Paint

Must never hope to reproduce the faint

Half-flush that dies along her throat."

 

3.     3.  What are genres of Indonesia Poetry? Give me an example of each genres.

BALADA IBU YANG DIBUNUH” karya WS Rendra

Ibu musang di lindung pohon tua meliang
Bayinya dua ditinggal mati lakinya.
Bualan sabit terkait malam memberita datangnya
Waktu makan bayi-bayinya mungil sayang.
Matanya berkata pamitan, bertolaklah ia
Dirasukinya dusun-dusun, semak-semak, taruhan harian atas nyawa.
Burung kolik menyanyikan berita panas dendam warga desa
Menggetari ujung bulu-bulunya tapi dikibaskannya juga.
Membubung juga nyanyi kolik sampai mati tiba-tiba
Oleh lengking pekik yang lebih menggigitkan pucuk-pucuk daun
Tertangkap musang betina dibunuh esok harinya.
Tiada pulang ia yang mesti rampas rejeki hariannya
Ibu yang baik, matinya baik, pada bangkainya gugur pula dedaun tua.
Tiada tahu akan meraplah kolik meratap juga
Dan bayi-bayinya bertanya akan bunda pada angin tenggara
Lalu satu ketika di pohon tua meliang
Matilah anak-anak musang, mati dua-duanya.
Dan jalannya semua peristiwa
Tanpa dukungan satu dosa, tanpa.

 

·         Lyric

Elegi Jakarta karya Asrul Sani

Pada tapal terakhir sampai ke Yogya,
bimbang telah datang pada nyala
langit telah tergantung suram
Kata-kata berantukan pada arti sendiri
Bimbang telah datang pada nyala
dan cinta tanah air akan berupa
peuru dalam darah
serta nilai yang bertebaran sepanjang masa
bertanya akan kesudahan ujian
mati - atau tiada mati-matinya

O jenderal, bapa, bapa
tiadakah engkau hendak berkata untuk kesekian kali
ataukah suatu kehilangan keyakinan
hanya akan tetap tinggal pada titik-sempurna
dan nanti tulisan yang telah diperbuat sementara
akan hilang ditiup angin
ia berdiam di pasir kering

·         Descriptive

DI NEGERI AMPLOP

Oleh : (Gus Mus)

Aladin menyembunyikan lampu wasiatnya “malu”

Samson tersipu – sipu, rambut keramatnya ditutupi topi “rapi – rapi”

David coverfil dan rudini bersembunyi “rendah diri”

Entah, andai Nabi Musa bersedia datang membawa tongkatnya

Amplop – amplop di negeri amplop mengatur dengan teratur

Hal – hal yang tak teratur menjadi teratur

Hal – hal yang teratur menjadi tak teratur

Memutuskan putusan yang tak putus

Membatalkan putusan yang sudah putus

Amplop – amplop menguasai penguasa

Dan mengendalikan orang – orang biasa

Amplop – amplop membeberkan dan menyembunyikan

Mencairkan dan membekukan

Mengganjal dan melicinkan

Orang bicara bisa bisu

Orang mendengar bisa tuli

Orang alim bisa nafsu

Orang sakti bisa mati

Di negri amplop, amplop – amplop mengamplopi apa saja dan siapa saja.
