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:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperantido
One on riism:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformed_Esperanto
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.
