I already know about Esperant', Riism, and the speech used for poetry but what other styles of Esperanto speech are there? And were can I find a list of 'poetry only' words?

Here's a wiki article that may be useful:

One on riism:

The itch for reform has gripped E-ists since the beginning. For reference, here's the wiki article about proposed reforms that Zamenhof (reluctantly) put to the movement in 1894 (they were all decisively rejected):

Looking at all this stuff, the movement's conservatism and the declaration of the Fundamento as 'untouchable' at the first international congress in 1905 seems more understandable!

Thanks for the information! I did not know that there was a 'reformed Esperanto', so thanks for helping me learn something new.
