…………. Narrative Poetry Example: Jimmy Goes to the City by Arthur Read Jimmy was a happy ape Until some hunters caught him He liked the jungle better than The city where they brought him The city was louder The city was meaner Even the dirt in the jungle was cleaner So Jimmy made a daring escape! The hunters were suddenly minus one ape! He climbed the tallest building Because from there he'd see How far away the jungle was From the middle of the city. Jimmy jumped into a passing plane But the pilot didn't wait for him to explain Jimmy flew back to the jungle And told his ape friends in their lair "The city's okay for a visit But you couldn't make me live there. "

…………. . Narrative Poetry Example: The Blues: By: Langston Hughes When the shoe strings break On both your shoes And you're in a hurry. That's the blues. When you go to buy a candy bar And you've lost the dime you had Slipped through a hole in your pocket somewhere. That's the blues, too, and bad!

My teacher calls me sweetie cakes. My classmates think it’s funny to hear her call me angel face or pookie bear or honey. My dog ate my homework. It’s gonna be late. I guess that the teacher will just have to wait. My dog ate my homework. He swallowed it whole. I shouldn’t have mixed it with food in his bowl. --Kenn Nesbitt She calls me precious baby doll. She calls me pumpkin pie or doodle bug or honey bunch or darling butterfly. My class is so embarrassing I need to find another; just any class at all in which the teacher’s not my mother. --Kenn Nesbitt
