Lyric poetry began in ancient Greece. Stage performances included songs by a chorus, or large group of people, and individual songs accompanied by a lyre - aka lyric. Lyric poetry is what you typically think of when you think of a poem or song. Lyric poems rhyme and follow specific formats, rhythms, and meter.
Occasional Poems: this is just a term which means a lyric poem written for a specific event. "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus is an occasional poem; it is also a Sonnet. This poem was written to help raise funds for a new pedestal for the Statue of Liberty.
Ode Poems: very formal poems written in iambic pentameter. Traditional odes are written for a chorus (or at least, the idea of a chorus), and are broken down into three 10-line stanzas - one half of the chorus reads the first set of lines, the other half reads the middle set, and both together read the end, which ties everything together. Traditional odes celebrate or praise more abstract topics, such as cities, concepts, and famous events or people. English odes (also called homostrophic or homerian odes) are more structured, but written about more personal topics. English odes also have ten lines to each stanza, and are written in iambic pentameter. One typical rhyme format for an English ode is ABABCDECE. Some famous odes include Keats' "Ode to Autumn" and Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind."
Quatrain Poems: four-line stanzas with specific rhyme formats. There are several kinds of quatrain poems.
Rondeau Poems: light or fanciful poems with 15 lines. Rhyme schemes may be AABBA, AABBAC, or AABC. Lines 9 and 15 of a rondeau act as the refrain. One famous rondeau that is not written on a light topic is "In Flanders Field" by John McCrae.
Rondel Poems: similar to a Sonnet; a 13- or 14-line poem with the rhyme scheme ABBAABABABBAAB. A good example of this type of poem is Chaucer's "Rondel of Merciless Beauty."
Sonnets: a 14-line poem with a very specific rhyme and rhythm format. Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter. Shakespearian sonnets, the most famous of the sonnets, have 10 syllables to each of the 14 lines, with a rhyme format of ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG - the last two lines are a couplet.
Villanelle Poems - a 19-line poem consisting of five tercets with a final quatrain. There are only two rhymes - the first and third lines of the first tercet, which then appear in the final couplet of the quatrain. Probably the most famous villanelle poem is "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas.
