But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

What do they most often use in poetry?

"Verse", the individual line format of poems, is used most often in poetry. In fact, if the work is not in verse format, it isn't even poetry. One problem with this answer though is that it is a tautology. It is like saying "poetry is used most often in poetry." Not very helpful. So another answer could be "meter." Meter is the rhythmic inflection of stressed and unstressed syllables of the words in each line of verse. Not all poetry has meter though. Some poems have lines written without a specific metric format. This is called "free verse." Note that even lines of a poem that have no meter are still called "verse." "Rhyme schemes" are a distant third. Poems need not rhyme to be considered poetry.


Subtypes of poetry?

Sonnets consist of 14 lines with a specific rhyme scheme, while haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry with three lines and a 5-7-5 syllable structure. Limericks are humorous poems with a specific rhyming pattern, and free verse does not follow a specific meter or rhyme scheme.
