Poetry
A calligram by Guillaume Apollinaire. These are a
type of poem in which the written words are
arranged in such a way to produce a visual image.
Prose
Prose is a form of language that
possesses ordinary syntax and natural
speech, rather than a regular metre; in
which regard, along with its presentation
in sentences rather than lines, it differs
from most poetry.[44][45][53] However,
developments in modern literature,
including free verse and prose poetry
have tended to blur any differences, and
American poet T.S. Eliot suggested that
while: "the distinction between verse and
prose is clear, the distinction between
poetry and prose is obscure".[54]

Drama
Drama is literature intended for
performance.[76] The form is often
combined with music and dance, as in
opera and musical theater. A play is a
subset of this form, referring to the
written dramatic work of a playwright
that is intended for performance in a
theater; it comprises chiefly dialogue
between characters, and usually aims at
dramatic or theatrical performance rather
than at reading. A closet drama, by
contrast, refers to a play written to be
read rather than to be performed; hence,
it is intended that the meaning of such a
work can be realized fully on the page.[77]
Nearly all drama took verse form until
comparatively recently.
