There are many different types of poems.  There are traditional haiku, american haiku, prose, vignettes, diamonds, list, persona poems, free-style and more.  I ended up doing a persona, haiku, diamond, and list poem.  I drew upon themes of Death and Time, as well as the concepts of Beauty and Nature while relying heavily for some of the poems on previous works.  I also used the idea of poems set in pictures, where the poem itself is displayed with a form of illustration.
