Exploring Types of Poetry for 3rd Graders

The video tutorial reviews four types of poetry: narrative, humorous, lyrical, and free verse. Narrative poems tell a story with elements like characters and plot. Humorous poems are silly and aim to make readers laugh. Lyrical poems are akin to songs, using rhythm and repetition to convey feelings.
