How do you start a lyric poem?

In: Poetry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Lyric poetry is defined as poetry with regulated meter. How one is started varies greatly. Lyric poetry does not have to rhyme, or have only one meter. The meters are classified primarily according to their rhythms: iambic (short-LONG), trochaic (LONG-short), dactylic (LONG-short-short), anapestic (short-short-LONG), pyrrhic (short-short), and spondaic (LONG-LONG). The last two are extremely difficult to compose in English.
