Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The four main literary genres are poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and drama. All of these genres share one characteristic: the use of figurative language (literary devices like similes, metaphors, and personification). Poetry is rhythmic writing that is meant to express or elicit an emotional response.

Detailed explanation-2: -Poetry (derived from the Greek poiesis, “making"), also called verse, is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language − such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre − to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning.
