The poetic books of The Bible are generally considered to be Job, Psalms, Proberbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. Some of the historical books also contain small amounts of poetry.

The list of historical books is somewhat longer. They include Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy (those 5 constitute the Pentateuch, or Torah if you're Jewish). The remaining historical books are Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings, 1&2 Chronicles, Ezra, Esther, Nehemiah, the four Gospels, and the Book of Acts; plus there are a small number of historical chapters in Isaiah and Jeremiah.
