Forms which can be done in using 3 lines are as follows
ABC, Acrostic, Alliteration, Blank Verse, Carpe Diem, Enclosed Rhyme [aba], Epitaph, Free Verse, haiku [becareful if I don't think it's a haiku you will be out right away]*, Iambic Pentameter,Than-Bauk, Personification, Rhyme, senryu * [see the note on haiku] sijo
//*[These poems are pretty self explainitory BUT if you need help soup mail me] ABC, Acrostic, Alliteration // Blank verse is H A R D, it's metered verse with NO end-rhyme!

Enclosed Rhyme [ex: the rain in SPAIN/falls mainly/on the PLAIN]
Epitaph A commemorative inscription on a tomb or mortuary monument written to praise the deceased.
Free Verse
