Answer 4

There are more than three books in Ketuvim -

Chronicles, Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ruth, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, Esther, Daniel, Ezra / Nehemiah

I know that Song of Songs and Psalms are poetry, but many of the others could qualify as the "third"... parts of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are certainly poetry, as is Lamentations (though it is extremely sad).  I have a hard time characterizing the book of Job as poetry, despite the other answerers' responses.  It doesn't rhyme or even follow a meter.

So I'm not sure what answer you're looking for here.

Are you asking this because you genuinely want to know, or are you asking a trivia question?
