我們對「英詩」採取廣泛的定義，大致上有下列幾類： • 一、固定文體的詩歌， • 例如： • sonnet 十四行詩，如大文學家莎士比亞就寫了154首 • limericks / cinquain 五行詩 • haiku (日本) 三行俳句詩 • couplet 對句；雙韻圖片提供：Desert-rose

二、韻文歌謠： 1. ballads：民謠, 民歌; 敘事歌謠 2. children’s ballads / nursery rhymes童謠，如：Mother Goose。圖片提供：Desert-rose

三、具有音樂性 (押韻、節奏) 與想像力的詩歌： 1. poems set to music專為音樂而創作的詩歌 2. raps時下最流行的繞舌詩/歌圖片提供：Desert-rose

四、幽默俏皮的繞口令(tongue twisters) 五、訴諸視覺效果的「具象詩」(concrete poetry) 六、不拘任何型式的自由詩(free verses) • 圖片提供：Desert-rose

5. couplet 對句；雙韻 • Couplet是兩句一組押韻的詩，和中國的對聯很像。但也可以兩兩一組，無限擴充，不單兩句而已。 • (1) Little Daddy Longlegs Little Daddy Longlegs played in the sun, Climbing up the front steps just for fun. • (2) Turtle Trouble Tell me if you think you know How to make a turtle go. • (3) Tomorrow's My Birthday Tomorrow's my birthday and I'll be four And I won't have to stay home anymore. 圖片提供：Desert-rose

6. Limericks 五行打油詩 • 通常是小笑話甚至是胡謅，一般沒有標題也無作者姓名，含有幽默諷刺性，常運用雙關，內韻等手法。 • 每首詩五行，押韻aabba。 ……」圖片提供：Desert-rose
