    Versification

    Verse is generally associated with poetry, though there are slight differences between verse and
    poetry. To begin with, verse is writing that is divided into lines. Poetry need not follow this
    format.The basic building block of a poem is a verse known as a stanza. A stanza is a grouping
    of lines related to the same thought or topic, similar to a paragraph in prose. A stanza can be
    subdivided based on the number of lines it contains. For example, a couplet is a stanza with two
    lines.

    Subjective and Objective poetry

    Subjective Poetry: In subjective poetry, the poet’s thinking, likes, and dislikes, ideology,
    personal experience, and assumptions have been discussed in his creative work. This subjective
    poetry enhances our attraction towards the work and creates curiosity about what to do next.
    ‘Subjective Poetry’ includes self-expression and the personal experience of a poet. Personal
    thoughts and feelings are also included in this form of poetry.

    There are four types of subjective poetry.

    1. Lyric
    2. Elegy
    3. Ode
    4. Sonnet

    Lyric:
    The word “lyric’’ was originated from ancient Greek literature, “the lyric”. It is a short poem that
    includes musical qualities having a rhyme scheme. The Poet discusses his personal experience in
    his creative work.

    Elegy:
    In this form of subjective poetry, the Poet discusses the death of someone beloved and it has a
    serious theme. Thomas Gray’s “Elegy in the country churchyard” is a famous elegy in literature.

    Ode:
    In this form of Poetry, the Poet directly addresses someone or something or describes nature
    intellectually and emotionally. John Keat’s Ode on a Grecian Urn is a famous ode in literature.
    Sonnet:
    Originated from the Italian Word Sonnetto and used from the 13th century. It has a strict rhyme
    scheme of fourteen lines having a specific structure. William Shakespeare used this form of
    poetry.

    Objective Poetry:

    Objective Poetry is impersonal in which the writer is inspired by the actions and passion of the
    outside world. It’s also called impersonal poetry. It refers to a kind of poetry in which the poet
    goes out of himself and finds his inspiration and subjects in the actions and passions of the
    world.

    This form of poetry includes ‘epic’, ‘novel’ and ‘drama’.
