Lyric poetry abounds in Shakespeare's sonnets. Lyric poetry is one of three genres of poetry; the other two are dramatic and narrative.
Sonnets as Lyric PoetryThe word "lyric" comes from the Latin "lyrics" meaning "of or for the lyre." Some of the best examples of lyric poetry come from Italian and English sonnets. In lyric poetry, the mood is musical and emotional. The writer of a lyric poem uses words that express his state of mind, his perceptions, or his feelings.Example of Lyric Poetry
