William Shakespeare, in addition to his work as a playwright, famously wrote a number of sonnets. A sonnet is a style of poetry with strictly regulated rhyme and meter. Shakespeare wrote his sonnets with a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EE (where each letter represents a line of poetry, and letters which are the same represent lines which rhyme) He wrote 154 sonnets in total, of which all but two were published in one volume (possibly without Shakespeare's consent). In addition to his sonnets, Shakespeare also wrote a few works of extended verse, such as "Venus and Adonis". In short, the sonnet is the type of poem most famously written by Shakespeare.
