what kind of poem would this be..?

Question

the poem i wrote, every other line rhymes. its about the great depression its over 14 lines long. what kind of format would that be? like sonnet or pantoum or something?

Answer 1

it's not a sonnet. sonnets have very specific patterns.
I'd need to see the actual poem to tell you more.

Answer 2

A poem with a verse form consisting of 14 lines with a fixed rhyme scheme is called a sonnet. A verse form with a rhyme scheme is called a terza rima. But since you wrote 14 lines that has a rhyme scheme it would be classified as a sonnet.

Answer 3

A sonnet is 14 lines.
To be a sonnet, you would have to reduce the lines to 14.

Due to your topic, your poem could be an epic.
But epics usually have a main hero.

If the style you use sounds rhythmic, like a song,
you could be a lyrical poet.

Answer 4

Yes.. it sounds like a SONNET.. fourteen-line rhyming poem with set structure: a short poem with 14 lines, usually ten-syllable rhyming lines

Answer 5

A sonnet probably, if there are 10 syllables in each line.

Answer 6

Too long for a haiku or a sonnet.

I would have to see the lines of the poem to determine what sort of poem it is.
