In the code language of criticism when a poem is said to be about poetry the word "poetry" is often used to mean: how people construct an intelligibility out of the randomness they experience; how people choose what they love; how people integrate loss and gain; how they distort experience by wish and dream; how they perceive and consolidate flashes of harmony.
These are some of the terms you will need to know: Onomatopoeia, Alliteration, Assonance, Consonance, Metaphor, Simile, Rhyme, and Personification.

Categories of Poetry
Haiku: This Japanese form of poetry is characterized by three lines, with a strict limit on the amount of syllables used in each line. The pattern for the haiku poem is as follows: The first line has five syllables,
the second has seven, and the third has five.
Limerick: The limerick is a five-line poem that is usually humorous in nature. The poem is made up of a triplet and couplet, meaning that three of the lines rhyme in the same manner, and the remaining two rhymes in a different manner. Lines one, two and five make of the triplet, while lines three and four make up the
couplet.
Sonnet: The sonnet is typically comprised of fourteen lines in a strict rhyming scheme. There are two common rhyming patterns used in the sonnet - the Italian pattern and the English pattern. The Italian pattern is
rhymed in the pattern abba abba cdcdcd, while the English pattern is rhymed abab cdcd efef gg.
Ballad: The ballad is the type of poetry that is most often associated with song. The ballad most often tells a story, and has a chorus or refrain that is usually repeated at the end of each stanza.
Cinquain: As its name suggests, the cinquain is a five-line poem with rules concerning the use of each line. The first line of the cinquain is made up of one word, while the second line has two words that describe the first line. The third line has three words that are used to show action, while the fourth consists of four words that convey feeling. The fifth line and final line is usually two words that refer to the subject on line one.
Free Verse: This form of poetry is written free from the proper rules about form, rhyme, rhythm or meter that many of the other forms of poetry are bounded by. This freedom of style allows the use of a great deal of imagination on the ways to express feelings or emotions about the chosen topic.
