<span>There
are a number of ways you could categorize the poem. It's free verse,
since it doesn't use rhyme or meter. It's a nature poem obviously. And it's a
lyric poem, which is usually defined as a short poem that describes
something or expresses thoughts and feelings (as opposed to a narrative
poem, which is like a short story or a novel in verse, a longer poem
that tells a whole story). </span>
