  1. Poem types are like different genres of movies

  2. Narrative Poem It's nine o'clock on a SaturdayThe Regular crowd shuffles inThere's an old man sitting next to meMakin' love to his tonic and ginHe says, "Son, can you play me a memoryI'm not really sure how it goesBut it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it completeWhen I wore a younger man's clothes."La lala, di da daLa la, di da dadadumSing us a song, you're the piano manSing us a song tonightWell, we're all in the mood for a melodyAnd you've got us feelin' alright • Tells a story with a beginning, middle, and an end • Has characters, setting, plot, and theme • Could be made into a small movie • Has a climax/points of tension

  3. Ballad • Same as a Narrative but must also… • Tragic story (something dies or ends) • Simple language • Repetitive • So, is ‘The Piano Man’ a ballad? • It all comes down to interpretation…is it tragic?

  4. Ode Praises a person, place of thing Song of MyselfBy Walt WhitmanI celebrate myself, and sing myself,And what I assume you shall assume,For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.I loaf and invite my soul,I lean and loaf at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.My tongue, every atom of my blood, formed from this soil, this air,Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,I, now thirty seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death.Creeds and schools in abeyance,Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,Nature without check with original energy.

  5. Elegy • Praises someone/something that is over or dead • Poetic form of EULOGY • If stops, praising, then it’s not an elegy

  6. Lyric • Presents a poet’s thoughts, views, ideas, on a topic • Can contain ‘elements’ of other types, but is predominantly the BIG IDEA • Not to be confused with song lyrics

  7. Ironic An old man turned ninety-eightHe won the lottery and died the next dayIt's a black fly in your ChardonnayIt's a death row pardon two minutes too lateIsn't it ironic, don't you thinkIt's like rain on your wedding dayIt's a free ride when you've already paidIt's the good advice that you just didn't takeWho would've thought, it figuresMr. Play It Safe was afraid to flyHe packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-byeHe waited his whole damn life to take that flightAnd as the plane crashed down he thought"Well, isn't this nice."And isn't it ironic,l don't you think Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic, don't you think A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you And life has a funny way of helping you out Helping you out.
