Redefining Classical Approach to Poetry

I have generally written for healing purposes and while I love to rearrange thoughts with words, somewhat like a large touch screen in the mind, shifting and moving words in and out, according to need and want, I find that I must return to classic forms and understand what it takes to venture into true poems of the past.  Here's the first link I've found that gives definitions for understanding poetry @ PoemofQuotes titled 51 Types of Poetry - All Different Forms.

Another great site for a list of great poets @ Poetseers.org.
