Pastoral poems are a type of poetry that focus on rural life and the beauty of nature. IDYLS (5 letters) are short poems that often depict a single event or scene, while ECLOGUES (8 letters) are longer poems that usually involve dialogue between two or more characters. IDYLLS (6 letters) are also longer poems, but they tend to be more reflective and meditative in nature. All three types of pastoral poems are characterized by their celebration of the natural world and its inhabitants.
