A lyric poem is said to be meditative.
Poets think to themselves about life, love, the seasons, a river, whatever.
Lyrics are rooted in the here and now, and the reader seems to be contemplating along with the poet. It is not unusual for any one poem to be a combination of these different approaches. It is simply a way to classify poetry so that we can understand it more easily. I've talked about image since the beginning of Poem of the Week. It is the cornerstone of your poetry.
