Definitions of lyric poem on the Web:

* in its most common contemporary usage, a short poem expressing in a personal manner the feelings and thoughts of an individual 'speaker.'

* lyric: a short poem of songlike quality

* Lyric poetry is the purest form of poetry, which does not attempt to tell a story, as do epic poetry and dramatic poetry. Rather than portraying characters and actions, the lyric poet addresses the reader directly, portraying his or her own feelings, states of mind, and perceptions.
