Hebrew Poetry has been produced for on the order of 3000 years. During that long span, poets have adopted just about every known structural basis for their poetry. Juda Halevy, in his 12th century work, the Kuzari, praised traditional Hebrew poetry for its use of free verse, as opposed to what he saw as the new fad of strictly rhymed metrical poetry. Many of the psalms are structured as alphabetical acrostics, a form that never went completely out of style but was clearly more popular in ancient times. Another common structure is antiphonic verse, where each verse is a couplet where the two halves are parallel and well suited to reading by two readers or by reader and congregation. Some of the psalms make strong use of repetition, for example, beginning runs of consecutive verses with the same phrase while each verse ends quite differently. Even so, it seems extreme to claim that there is one structural basis for all Hebrew poetry or even for all psalms.

Who wrote the first poem?
Actually, there is no record of when the first poem was written. Poetry has been written throughout the ages. There is ancient poetry such as the "Psalms" written by the Hebrew King David. There is Dark Age poetry such as "Beowulf". There is also medieval poetry such as the "Canterbury Tales". The styles of poetry have changed over the years and these examples may not be what we think of modern-day "poetry". Just like literature and every are, styles change with the era and are influenced by other events that occur in the world. Actually, poems first began in ancient Greece, India, and China going back to 600 BCE.
