Narrative poetry is a form of poetry which tells a story, often making use of the voices of a narrator and characters

as well; the entire story is usually written in metered 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.[1] Narrative poems include epics, ballads, idylls andlays. 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'sIdylls of the King. Although these examples use medieval and Arthurian materials, romances may also tell stories from classical mythology. Shorter narrative poems are often similar in style to the short story. Sometimes these short narratives are collected into interrelated groups, as with Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Some literatures contain prose narratives that include poems and poetic interludes; much Old Irish poetry is contained within prose narratives, and the Old Norse sagas include both incidental poetry and the biographies of poets. An example is "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by Robert Service.

What are characteristics of narrative poetry?

In earlier lessons we learned about the various literary forms and devices -- plot, character, setting, imagery, style, tone -- authors use in achieving the effects they seek. Here we will examine how these elements are adapted and combined to produce a cohesive narrative: a story told in verse from beginning to end. The second we site indicates: "Some have speculated that some of the distinctive features that distinguish poetry from prose, such as metre, alliteration, and kennings, at one time served as memory aids that allowed the bards who recited traditional tales to reconstruct them from memory.Some narrative poetry takes the form of a novel in verse." The third site below seems to list the characteristics as follows: What is narrative poetry? Narrative Poetry is a poem that tells a series of events using poetic devices such as rhythm, rhyme, compact language, and attention to sound. In other words, a narrative poem tells a story, but it does it with poetic flair! Many of the same elements that are found in a short story are also found in a narrative poem. Here are some elements of narrative poetry that are important: o character o setting

o conflict o plot

EPIC

An epic is a long narrative poem celebrating the adventures and acheivements of a hero... epics deal with the traditions, mythical or historical, of a nation.

An epic (from the Ancient Greek adjective (epikos), from (epos) "word, story, poem"[1]) is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serious subject containing details of heroic deeds and events significant to a culture or nation.[2] Oral poetry may qualify as an epic, and Albert Lord and Milman Parry have argued that classical epics were fundamentally an oral poetic form. Nonetheless, epics have been written down at least since the works of Virgil, Dante Alighieri, and John Milton. Many probably would not have survived if not written down. The first epics are known as primary, or original, epics. One such epic is the Old English story Beowulf.[3] Epics that attempt to imitate these like Milton's Paradise Lost are known as literary, or secondary, epics. Another type of epic poetry is epyllion(plural: epyllia), which is a brief narrative poem with a romantic or mythological theme. The term, which means 'little epic', came into use in the nineteenth century. It refers primarily to the erudite, shorter hexameter poems of the Hellenistic period and the similar works composed at Rome from the age of the neoterics; to a lesser degree, the term includes some poems of the English Renaissance, particularly those influenced byOvid.[citation needed] The most famous example of classical epyllion is perhaps Catullus 64. Some of the most famous examples of epic poetry include the Ramayana, Mahabharata,Iliad and the Odyssey.

Sanaysay na Pormal Tungkol sa Kapaligiran

Halimbawa ng Sanaysay Global Warming (Sulating Pormal) Maraming isyu ang kinakaharap ng ating bansa sa kasalukuyan. Ngunit kung akoy bibigyan ng pagkakataon na maging bahagi ng mga isyung ito, ang una kong pagtutuunan ng pansin ay ang isyu tungkol sa ating kapaligiran. Ginawa ko ang sanaysay na ito upang mailahad ko ang mga bagay na aking naiisip na kaakibat ng ating kapaligiran sa kasalukuyang panahon. Patuloy na nasisira ang ating kapaligiran, dahilan upang magkaroon ng negatibong pagbabago hindi lamang dito sa ating bansa bagkus pati na rin sa buong sadaigdig. Ang lumalalang sitwasyon ay nagiging dahilan upang magkaroon ng pangyayari na tinatawag na global warming. Ang global warming ay ang pagtaas ng temperature ng ating mga karagatan at atmosphere at ang patuloy na paglala nito. Sinasabi ng mga scientist at mga eksperto na ang dahilan nito ay ang pagsusunog ng mga fossil fuels na nagiging sanhi ng pagkasira ng ozone layer n gating atmosphere. At dahil unti-unting nabubutas ang ozone layer, ang init na galing sa araw o itong tinatawag na suns rays na mapanganib sa ating kapaligiran kung itoy direktang makapapasok ay siya na ngang nagyayari sa kasalukuyang panahon. Ang ozone layer ang siyang nagsisilbing taga-sala nito o filter upang hindi ang mga mabubuting sinag lamang ang makapasok sa ating atmosphere. Sa isyu ng global warming, napakahalaga na pagtuunan ng pansin ang mga bagay na nagiging dahilan ng ganitong pangyayari. Alamin, sa abot ng makakaya, ang mga sanhi ng global warming. Sa ganitong paraan, malalaman natin ang mga dahilan ng pagkasira ng ating atmosphere at magagawan natin ng paraan. Maiiwasan natin ang mga gawaing nakapagdudulot ng unti-unting pagkabutas ng ating ozone layer gaya ng pagsusunod ng mga fossil fuels. Hindi lamang sa ating henerasyon maaaring makaapekto ang global warming. Higit na mararamdaman ito ng ating mga anak at kanilang mga pamilya kung hindi natin maaagapan ang pagkasira n gating kapaligiran. Marapat lamang na hanggang maaga ay kumilos tayo upang hindi na lumala pa ang sitwasyon. Kailangan lamang na magkaisa tayo upang masolusyunan natin ang problemang kinakaharap. Malaki ang ambag ng bawat isa sa pagkakaroon ng mabuti at malinis na kapaligiran. Huwag n asana tayong dumagdag pa sa mga taong patuloy ang pagsira sa ating kapaligiran. 2011 Sanaysay sa Filipino.

Hindi mo ba napapansin ang mga nangyayari sa ating kapaligiran? Hindi mo ba nakikita ang mga basurang nakakalat sa mga tabi-tabi? Hindi mo ba naaamoy ang mga baho na nagagawa ng mga basura? Hindi ka ba nababahala sa pagkalat ng polusyon sa ating bansa? Hindi mo ba nararamdaman ang biglaang pag-init ng ating kapaligiran? Hindi mo ba nakikita, napapansin, naaamoy, o nararamdaman ang untiunting pagbabago sa ating kapaligiran? Hindi nga ba? Ginawa ng Poong Maykapal an gating mundo na maganda, malinis, mabango, maayos, at payapa. Ngunit sa unti-unting pag-unlad ng ating mundo ay napapabayaan na natin ang mga ito. Ginawa ng Poong Maykapal ang atig kapaligiran na maayos ngunit sa kasalukuyang panahon ay padami na ng padami ang mga umaalipusta sa ating kapaligiran.

Ginawa rin ng Poong Maykapal ang ating mundo na payapa ngunit sa pangkasalukuyang panahon ay nagsilipana na ang mga adik, pusher, mga magnanakaw, at mga mamamatay-tao sa ating paligid na ginagawa ang ating mundo na miserable. Nais ko lamang sabihin na sana ay pangalagaan natin am gating kapaligiran dahil dahil dito nakapamumuhay tayo ng maayos at masagana. Sa paligid din natin natututuhan makipagkapwa sa ating mga kapitbahy at mga kaibigan at pati na rin sa ating sariling pamilya. Hindi ba masarap pagmasdan ang luntiang paligid at mga halaman? Hindi ba masarap amuyin ang sariwang simoy ng hangin at malalagong mga bulaklak? Hindi ba massarap magmasid sa ating payapang kapaligiran? Hindi ba masarap Makita ang mga masasayang mamamayan na tulung-tulong na magbigay ng tamang pagkalinga at tamang importansya sa ating kapaligiran at tulung-tulong magtapon ng basura sa tamang lugar at tamang pamamaraan? Alam ko lahat ng aking nabanggit ay gusto mong maging totoo. Alam ko rin na gusto mog maging payapa an gating kapaligiran. Pero alam mo magagawa natin lahat yan bastat tulung-tulong tayong magsagawa ng iobat-ibang pamamaraan kung papaano natin matataby ang mga basurang nagsilipana sa ating kapaligiran.
