A subgenre of poetry can be a form or style that has specific characteristics. Examples of subgenres of poetry include:
- Sonnet - A 14-line poem, often written in iambic pentameter, with various rhyme schemes (like the Shakespearean or Petrarchan sonnet).
- Haiku - A traditional form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5.
- Limerick - A humorous five-line poem with a specific meter and an AABBA rhyme scheme.
- Free Verse - Poetry that does not follow a specific rhyme scheme or meter, allowing for greater freedom of expression.
These are just a few examples, and there are many other subgenres and forms of poetry.
