Poetry / Poetry project, 8 different types of poetry [9]

I have to do a poetry project which includes me writing 8 different types of poetry. Here are some I have already done, can you please look at them and give my any advice.

Limerick
There once was a boy from York,
who thought he had sat on a fork.
There was a huge yelp, he was screaming for help.
Then realised it was only a cork.

Diamante
Life,
sense, feelings,
joys, sorrows, happiness,
sadness, change, stillness, imobile,
darkness, insignificance,
into the uknown
Death.

Haiku
The power of wind,
scouring diverse landscapes,
invisible beast.

Poetry / Poetry project, 8 different types of poetry [9]

I have also chosen to do a cinquain, concrete and couplet poem as well as a poem about me and also one about a sense. This is what I have so far if you could look at them and give me any advice.

cinquain
Flower,
Beautiful, colourful,
Developing, blossoming, flourishing,
Spring is finally here,
Tulip.

Couplet
Rain, rain, keeps falling down,
and all around the children frown.

Sense poem - Happiness
Happiness,
the feeling you get when all goes right.
When you ge the sudden rush of energy from your success
and burst into dance.

The feeling you get when your mind
flows free from the dark clutches of sorrow,
when you are overcome by a sense of joy.

The feeling you get when you realise your
hard work and time have finally paid off.
When nothing can bring you down at that moment.
Happiness.

Concrete
The
Trees.
Being cut down
Slowly choking our planet.
Hundreds more as the days go by.
How much longer can this go on. Will we
Will we live to see
the end.
Trees.

Thank you, i will make the change to the haiku and concrete poems. I am really glad you were so positive as I have been really anxious about doing this project as I don't consider it one of my better subjects!
