What sort of poems are there?

There are different types of poems. A poem can be rhythmical, have sequence, or rhyme to it. A rhythmical poem, for example:-

Music is part of my everyday life,
it's the one thing that makes me feel alive.
No matter what it could be,
all music influences me.
A sequenced poem, can either be a hymn or a chant. For Example:-

"Fear not, I am with thee";
Blessed golden ray,
Like a star of glory,
Lighting up my way!
Through the clouds of midnight,
This bright promise shone,
"I will never leave thee,
Never will leave thee alone."

A rhyming poem, often means the last word of the second and fourth line will rhyme for example:-

Lie beneath a spreading tree
With golden flowers in the sun.
Count to five on all the petals,
Never think of five plus one.
