  1. lyric poem

    Modern lyric poetry is a formal type of poetry which expresses personal emotions or feelings, typically spoken in the first person. It is not equivalent to song lyrics, though song lyrics are often in the lyric mode, and it is also not equivalent to Ancient Greek lyric poetry, which was principally limited song lyrics, or chanted verse, hence the confusion. The term for both modern lyric poetry and modern song lyrics both derive from a form of Ancient Greek literature, the Greek lyric, which was defined by its musical accompaniment, usually on a stringed instrument known as a kithara. The term owes its importance in literary theory to the division developed by Aristotle among three broad categories of poetry: lyrical, dramatic, and epic. Lyric poetry is also one of the earliest forms of literature.

    A lyric poem is a type of poetry that expresses personal and emotional feelings or thoughts. Rather than telling a story, it presents a deep, subjective point of view, often in a musical or rhythmical manner. The term originates from the Greek word lyrikos, which refers to a song sung with the accompaniment of a lyre. Lyric poems can vary in lengths and may explore various themes such as love, nature, beauty, loss, or melancholy.
