Hi,Blub Klub here. Since I've starting writing poems,I've learned of many different genres,or types,of poems. But my favorite that I've ever done has to be Haiku.

For those of you who don't know what haiku is,it's a Japanese form of poetry consisting of 17 syllables,as most of you know them. It used to be called hokku,but changed at the end of the 18th century. Here is an example.

My name is Blub Klub (5)
My real name shall not be known (7)
I play Dodian (5)

EDITS
--------------------------------------------
EDIT #1 : Also,Haiku can have more than one,opening a gateway to stories in haiku form. Example...

Watch the fierce dragon
It's tail shimmers with fire
It feeds on ogres

While the human walks
The fierce fire dragon stalks
Hunting in the night

The dragon is still
The human senses something
The dragon stays still

Sir human goes on
Who is dragon takes a leap
The dragon kills him

Of course that could have gone on with the eating and so on.
