Example of an Acrostic poem DREAMS Deep, and at the same time shallow, Real-like, and also an illusion. Expanding as imaginations grow, At times, it might result into a vision. Meaningful or meaningless as the case maybe, Slipping through the dark till the eyes will see. |

BALLAD A Ballad is a poem that tells a story. It is a type of poetry or verse which was basically used in dance songs in the ancient France. Though there are different categories of ballads which we wont be going deep into. Ballads, no matter which category they fall in, mostly rely on simple and easy-to-understand language. They include stories about hardships, tragedies, love and romance. Theses are the standard ingredients of ballads. |

Example of a Ballad As I was walking down the street I saw two people in secret meet The second one said to the first 'You have some news to quench my thirst?' 'In behind the old, damp shed There lies a noble man slain, dead And no one knows he lies in strife Except his dog and lonely wife With master gone where no one knocks His dog has left to chase a fox His wife has found somebody new His house is left for all to view Though it's been empty for a while We'll be warm and dry in half a mile For now we can take comfort there We'll flee the place when it grows bare Many people knew the noble man But none do care where he has gone Over his grave, all do ignore The wind shall blow forever more.' 7 Likes 1 Share |
