Introduction
Poetry is a type of literature that conveys a thought, describes a scene or tells a story in a concentrated, lyrical arrangement of words.A poem is a type of text where people write creatively – which means they use more descriptions, plus one or two other techniques – and they can either use their imaginations (making it fiction) or they can use their own lives (making it non-fiction) to find things to write about.
There are some poems that are a mixture of fiction and non-fiction because some writers, or poets, like to use a blend of the two.
One way that we can spot a poem is to look at how it is set out on the page. While normal writing goes from one side of the page to the other, poems usually look a little different to this as their lines are often much shorter and they can be of different lengths.
So if you see a text that looks more like this,
with sentences that do not go straight to the end of the line,
it will probably mean that you are dealing with a poem.
Another thing to look out for with poems is the language that they are using as they are often quite descriptive. Descriptions really stand out in some poems because of the techniques that the writer is using, for example, a poem might contain alliteration to make certain words stand out.

***** She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron *****
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
