Yes, lots. He wrote a number of long narrative poems such as Venus and Adonis and the Rape of Lucrece. He also wrote 154 sonnets. Unless there are undiscovered long narratives, there are only those two.
William Shakespeare did not write traditional epic poems like those of Homer or Virgil, but he did create long narrative poems that exhibit epic qualities. His two major narrative poems, "Venus and Adonis" and "The Rape of Lucrece," explore themes of love, desire, and tragedy, showcasing his poetic prowess. While not epic in the classical sense, these works reflect his ability to engage with grand themes and storytelling.
He wrote two long narrative poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, 154 sonnets and a handful of other poems. A couple of books of poetry were published even in his own time which attributed poems to him which certainly were not by him (like Marlowe's Passionate Shepherd poem), so there is a group of poems that are somewhat iffy.
Nearly all of the poems are constructed as fourteen lines, most of which are composed of rhythmic sentences of ten syllables under the following rhyme scheme: ababcdcdefefgg. The poems are arranged into two sections in an order which suggests an underlying story involving a poet, his aristocratic friend/patron and their relationships.
He published 154 sonnets and a bunch more are imbedded in the plays. A number of song lyrics are also attributed to him. He probably wrote around two hundred short poems all told.
