I'm writing an essay about different kinds of poetry, could you explain what some of the different forms and styles of poetry are?

Sure, I’ll try. Can you explain what you already know about this topic, and what you’re hoping to learn?

Sure, it’s certainly a broad topic. There are two common types of poems:

1) Narrative poems (which are about stories)
2) Rhyming poems (which are about things, usually fairly straightforward and specific)

Rhyming poems can be composed in different ways, too:

1) Rap - where rhyme is used for emphasis
2) Haiku - where the poem is about a season, an experience, etc, and there are only three lines in it (5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the last)

I hope this helps!
