HYPERPOETRY

Hyperpoetry - is a form of digital poetry that

uses links using hypertext mark-up. It is a very
visual form, and is related to hypertext fiction
and visual arts. The links mean that a hypertext
poem has no set order, the poem moving or
being generated in response to the links that
the reader/user chooses.
. It can either involve set words, phrases, lines,
etc. that are presented in variable order but sit
on the page much as traditional poetry does,
or it can contain parts of the poem that move
and / or mutate.

It is usually found online, though CD-

ROM and diskette versions exist. The earliest examples
date to no later than
the mid 1980s.
Some commonly-
seen types include

•haiku,
•sonnets,
•blank verse,
• limericks,
• couplets,
• villanelles
•hyper poetry
 Haiku
a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in
three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally
evoking images of the natural world.
 Sonnets
A sonnet (pronounced son-it) is a fourteen line poem with a fixed rhyme 
scheme. Often, sonnets use iambic pentameter: five sets of unstressed
syllables followed by stressed syllables for a ten-syllable line. Sonnets
were invented by the Italian poet Giacomo da Lentini during the 1200s.
The word sonnet is derived from the Old Occitan phrase sonet meaning
“little song.”

Pente – five
Iam - more stress on the second of two syllables

 •blank verse,

Blank verse is a literary device defined as un-rhyming

verse written in iambic pentameter. In poetry and prose
, it has a consistent meter with 10 syllables in each line
(pentameter); where, unstressed syllables are followed
by stressed ones, five of which are stressed but do not 
rhyme. It is also known as “un-rhymed 
iambic pentameter.”
 limericks
A limerick is a humorous poem consisting of five lines.
The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten
syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal
rhythm. The third and fourth lines should only have five
to seven syllables; they too must rhyme with each other
 and have the same rhythm.
 couplets

In poetry, a couplet is a pair of lines in a verse.

Typically, they rhyme and have the same meter,
or rhythm. They make up a unit or complete
thought.
 villanelles
A villanelle is a poetic form with nineteen lines and
a strict pattern of repetition and a rhyme scheme.
Each villanelle is comprised of five tercets (i.e., a
three-line stanza) followed by one quatrain (a
stanza with four lines). 
This genre, also called cyberpoetry as well as
other names, has many definitions and, like
hyperfiction, is difficult to categorize.
