[quote=dylan_k]enyaw, let's not bee to vague about "type" here. themes and forms are both types. As for form, form can be typographical or it can be structural.

I'll try to give an example. Say I write a sonnet about love (I wouldn't, but this is an example). It is nice to "tag" that sonnet by keyword, "love". This would allow people to find the poem, when they are looking for poems about love. Then, we could browse by sonnet... or haiku, sestina, villanelle, hip-hop, slam, etc... and wouldn't it be nice to find other examples of these forms?

Right now, poetrywithmeaning doesn't collect information about theme or form. Adding that kind of collection would leave-out any older poem, but I do think that, eventually, it would make for a very worthwhile addition.

Yes, I suppose it would be difficult to get people to enter anything other than the poem itself; and that sort of thing certainly can't be automatically determined. A tagging system, like del.icio.us has, for example -- that's pretty quick and easy to use.[/quote]
