What kind of poem is this: 
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; 
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st; 
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

What kind of poem is this: 
When I have fears that I may cease to be 
 Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain, 
Before high-pilèd books, in charactery, 
 Hold like rich garners the full ripened grain; 
When I behold, upon the night’s starred face, 
 Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, 
And think that I may never live to trace 
 Their shadows with the magic hand of chance; 
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour, 
 That I shall never look upon thee more, 
Never have relish in the faery power 
 Of unreflecting love—then on the shore 
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think 
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

What kind of poem is this: 
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
