Sonnet: 14 lines, iambic pentameter. Petrarchan (octave + sestet, ABBAABBA CDCDCD) or Shakespearean (three quatrains + couplet, ABAB CDCD EFEF GG). Often about love.

Ode: formal, elaborate poem praising something. Elegy: mourning poem for the dead. Ballad: narrative poem, often with repetition and refrain. Epic: long narrative of heroic deeds.

Free verse: no fixed meter or rhyme scheme. Blank verse: unrhymed iambic pentameter. Modern poetry often abandons traditional forms for more experimental structures. Form should serve meaning.
