Narrative Verse

Narrative verse is a type of poetry that tells a story through structured lines and rhythm. Unlike poems that focus on emotions or ideas alone, narrative verse combines storytelling with poetic features like meter and rhyme. It often includes characters, a plot, and a setting, similar to a short story or ballad. This form makes stories more memorable and engaging, using the musical qualities of poetry to enhance storytelling. Examples include epic poems, ballads, and certain folk tales expressed poetically, blending the art of poetry with the craft of narration.
