Narrative Poem
Narrative poetry is a form of poetry that tells a story, often making use of the voices of a narrator and characters as well; the entire story is usually written in metred verse. The poems that make up this genre may be short or long, and the story it relates to may be complex. It is usually dramatic, with objectives, diverse characters, and meter. Narrative poems include epics, ballads, idylls, and lays.
Some narrative poetry takes the form of a novel in verse. An example of this is The Ring and the Book by Robert Browning. In terms of narrative poetry, a romance is a narrative poem that tells a story of chivalry. Examples include the Romance of the Rose or Tennyson's Idylls of the King. Although these examples use medieval and Arthurian materials, romances may also tell stories from classical mythology.
Examples:
You Fill My Days
-Jack Ellison
You fill my days with happiness
With joy I never knew
There is no greater love my dear
Than the love I feel for you
You fill my days with kindness
You set my poor heart free
I can't begin to tell you
How much you mean to me
You fill my days with friendship
The kind that lasts and lasts
The purest kind of friendship
What more could one man ask
You fill my days with total joy
Like when I was just a child
The first time I could ride a bicycle
The clown that made me smile
You fill my days with quiet peace
That blows my cares away
With simple words of tenderness
You brighten up my day
But most of all sweet lady
You fill my days with spice
I'm never bored when you are near
My love it's been a slice
Peace Can Only Happen
- Bernard Barclay
"I can't change the way I feel"
"But yes you can"
"Go and watch a comedian
And they will make an audiance laugh"
"I am not responsible for your emotions"
"But yes you are"
"Yell and scream at me and that will create anger"
"Every action has a reaction"
A family that spends their live's
Screaming at their
