Lyric Poetry

Lyric poetry is a genre that expresses personal emotions, thoughts, or feelings, often in a musical and evocative way. Unlike narrative poetry, which tells a story, lyric poetry focuses on the speaker's inner experience, using vivid imagery and rhythm to connect with the reader or listener. Common themes include love, nature, and introspection. Lyric poems can vary in form, including sonnets, odes, and free verse, allowing poets to creatively explore their emotional landscapes. This type of poetry often seeks to provoke a response, inviting audiences to feel alongside the poet.
