Week Four: Narrative Poetry

This week we will be looking at narrative poetry. Narrative Poetry is poetry that tells a story. It can be short or long For your assignment I would like you to write a poem about yourself, or an event that you went to. It does not have to rhyme, but try to make it flow.

Here is an example that I wrote:

Under my bed in a pretty pink box,

Glittery and girly just like me,

Everything lays here that means something to me.

Pictures from family vacations by the lake,

Barbie doll clothes that must have been misplaced,

Marching band programs, music, and ribbons,

Movie stubs from movies I can’t remember seeing,

Dried flowers from boyfriends forgotten,

Student of the month and honor role awards,

Letters from friends that lived right down the street,

Notes that were passed in class when the teacher wasn’t looking,

Smiling faces of friends and family along with

the embarrassing pictures I never wanted anyone to see,

Greeting Cards with thoughtful sayings,

Schoolwork with handwriting I can’t believe was mine,

Part of my turtle collection that I’ve been saving.

Under my bed in that pretty pink box

Lays my life in pieces

Whenever I need something to help me smile

I go under my bed for a while.

Put a lot of thought into this poem!
Happy Blogging!
