Could someone clearly define the differences between all the poetry categories? I'm lost as to which one is for what.

The way I see it, narrative poetry is poetry that tells a story like The Rime of the Ancient Mariner - http://etext.virginia.edu/stc/Coleridge ... riner.html

Then, lyrical poetry is sort of emotional poetry. Lyrical poetry tends to cover the writer's feelings, written in first or second person rather than third like sonnet 130 - http://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/130.html

Finally, dramatic poetry is the hardest to define but Incandescence does a very good job if you go to the dramatic poetry board - viewtopic.php?t=11569
