In this paper, I considered the forms of poetry from a standpoint of poetry education for developing contents of Korean poetry edcation. The forms of poetry are structures of sound patterns, meter, rhyme, and stanza etc. In the past the forms of poetry have been a part of poetry education, but they were restricted within narrow limits of simple concepts. To solve this problem, it needs that the forms of poetry shoud be focused on the relevence to the meaning of the work. As compared with in prose, forms in poetry make more new meanings, therefore we should attach the importance to meaning of forms. In the stric sense, we must understand the meaning of forms in itself because it is hard to pharaphrase the meaning of forms. For unskilled learners, however, the forms are defamiliar and difficult occasionally, they had better paraphrase the meaning for themselves in the first place. To enhance acceptability of learner`s interpretation, paraphrase is inevitable in some degree. One defining characteristic of poetry is the use of line breaks to create rhythm and rhyme, suggest meaning, and produce a particular appearance. Line breaks make two kinds of meanings, the one is by separating and the other is by correlating. Rhyme has almost not existed in Korean Poetry, but exploration of possibilities of it has been attempted. For instance, Jeong(Ji Yong) made a rhythm with rhymes partially in his poetry, and young musicians, in these days, make rhymes extensively in their rap songs.
