Lyric poetry originated in ancient Greece. During a performance, an individual that sang a solo sang a "lyric." It spread to Rome, ancient India, China and Japan. The Japanese changed it and called it a "Haiku." France designed a lyric poem that they sung. Lyric poetry is still used throughout the world. We hear it almost everyday!
