lyric poem
Short personal verse
A lyric poem is a short poem expressing personal emotion or reflection, often with a musical quality.
Unlike narrative or dramatic poetry, lyric poems don't tell stories or present characters in conflict—they capture a moment of feeling or thought.
Sonnets, odes, and elegies are lyric poems.
Most contemporary poetry is lyric in nature.
