The poetic books of The Bible are Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.
The Hebrew Scriptures (OT) can be loosely divided into three sections:
**Poetic books described God's qualities (Job, Psalms ,Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon) - many of these were also prophetic.
**Historical accounts told of God's dealings with nations and peoples (Joshua, Judges,Ruth ,First Samuel ,Second Samuel , First and Second Kings ,First and Second Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther .)
**Prophetic books foretold the future outworking of God's will(mainly the large books Isaiah, Jeremiah (also Lamentations), Ezekiel and Daniel and the twelve shorter books Hosea to Malachi)
These books are considered the poetic books:

The books of the Bible that are classified as poetry, such as Psalms, Proverbs, and Song of Solomon, are called so because they are written in poetic forms like parallelism, imagery, and meter. These books often use metaphorical language, symbolism, and figurative expressions to convey spiritual truths, emotions, and wisdom.
A:Poetic licence is defined as a colloquial term, sometimes euphemism, used to denote the distortion of fact, alteration of the conventions of grammar or language, or rewording of pre-existing text. The authors of the books in the Bible used poetic licence whenever they created facts that were not really true, or wrote doublets that differed from existing passages. The redactors and editors used poetic licence when they altered the texts in order to update and create the books as we know them today. Later translators used poetic licence whenever they translated in the context of their own times or ignored the conventions of grammar or language either in the original or translated language.We use poetic licence when we reinterpret passages in the Bible, for example using Old Testament passages to foreshadow the coming of Jesus.
