GENRE STUDY Narrative poetry tells a story in a poetic
structure.

• Narrative poetry contains the elements of a story and uses
poetic elements to help tell it. For example, rhythm might be
used to build suspense, and stanzas might separate scenes.

An audio recording of a poem is the
recorded reading of a poem that can add
drama and emotion to the poem through
changes in tone and emphasized words.
