poems about telling stories

Another characteristic is the use of dialogue or monologue. In some narrative poems, characters speak directly. Take 'My Last Duchess' by Robert Browning. The duke's monologue reveals a lot about his character and the story of his relationship with his late duchess.

Yes, 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer. Although it's more of a collection of tales within a frame story. Chaucer uses different characters to tell their own stories during a pilgrimage. Each story gives insights into different aspects of medieval life, society, and human nature.

One characteristic is a clear narrative arc. Just like in a story, there is a beginning, middle, and end. For example, in 'The Three Little Pigs', the start is the pigs building their houses, the middle is the wolf trying to blow them down, and the end is the safe pig in his brick house. Another is the use of characters. Poems might have heroes, villains, or ordinary people. They are described through words to bring the story to life.

One example is 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It tells the story of a mariner who kills an albatross and then endures a series of supernatural and psychological punishments at sea. Another is 'The Highwayman' by Alfred Noyes, which is a tragic love story set against the backdrop of highway robbery in England.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and when it comes to telling stories, it's even more powerful. For example, Dorothea Lange's 'Migrant Mother' photo tells a story of hardship and resilience during the Great Depression. Her picture captured the weariness and determination in the mother's face, which spoke volumes about the struggles of the migrant workers at that time.

I'm not sure what 'dongs' specifically means in this context. It could be a misspelling. If you mean 'donuts' and how they could be related to telling stories, perhaps one could tell a story about a magical donut shop where each donut has a unique story behind it.

Sure. 'Bonny Barbara Allan' is a well - known ballad poem. It tells a tragic love story. Another one is 'Sir Patrick Spens', which is about a knight who is sent on a dangerous sea journey.

Stories for kids about hot food often have a moral or lesson. For instance, a story about a child who is picky about hot vegetables but then learns to love them when they try them in a new, delicious way. In poems, hot food can set the mood. A poem set in a winter scene might talk about a hot stove and the hot food cooking on it, creating a feeling of warmth and safety. The descriptions of hot food in these poems and stories can also expand a child's vocabulary as they learn words like 'steaming', 'sizzling', and 'scorching'.

They often have a strong emotional core. For example, they can be filled with love, like in a poem about a mother's love for her children. They also tend to be relatable as most people have family experiences. And they usually show the relationships between family members, whether it's the closeness or the conflicts.

They often have a gloomy or dark setting. For example, like in 'The Raven', the setting is a dreary chamber at midnight, which immediately sets a spooky mood. Another characteristic is the use of the supernatural. Poems might include ghosts, demons, or other otherworldly elements like in 'Annabel Lee' where the idea of love beyond the grave has a supernatural tinge. They also usually have a sense of unease or foreboding. The reader should feel a bit on edge while reading the poem.
