Curse you Skrzynecki what is this (1 Viewer)

Quick question about 10 Mary Street and St. Patrick's College. What on earth are types/forms/structures of these poems? I thought this site would be useful but I still can't tell, they could be jaunty limericks for all I know.

You don't really need to know all those different types of the poem, most of Skrzynecki's collection, particularly the immigrant chronicles are just reflective poems based on his migrant experiences and feelings, the closest out of all the forms, if you wish to be pedantic about categorisation, is free verse, just focus on how different facets of belonging is expressed and textual evidence to support it-don't worry so much about such small details... hope this helps anymore questions, feel free to pm me
