Poetry Through the Ages
https://www.webexhibits.org/poetry/

The exhibit features a tour of European poetry, introduces 18 poetry forms (from ancient to modern, well-known to obscure), provides background information and examples of each, and invites visitors to try to "make their own" poem using each form." A very cool site; my one criticism is that there's not enough actual poetry on the site.
