Poetry as a Narrative

All poetry is narrative as each word or line expresses a message. As defined in the beginning section of Narratives poetry, poetry uses language to express its chosen perspective of reality. Using poetry devices such as metaphor, rhyme meter, etc; the poet can transfer thought, feeling, and experience.

Traditional poems focused attention to rhyme structure, rhythm, and other poetry devices, while the more modern narrative poems tend to break those traditional rules and may even have no specific rhyme within the poem itself. However, one common reality that remains though is that it tells a story, it provides brief or intense descriptions concerning the subject matter and is ultimately more dramatized, unlike the other poetry classifications.

This report has therefor defined poetry any given emotion, thought or situation. As a painter would use their colour and art principles in order to create  a specific feeling or portrayal of a subject in order to engage with an audience, so does a poet with words. However, they would use poetic principles in order to achieve this.
