Example of Narrative Poem:
I was Late
By Gabe Siregar
I had a really odd dream.
I sat under the moonbeam.
I felt all alone,
being
just on my own.
Then the ground was trembling.
I was shocked and crying.
My
friend came with her meal.
She told me it wasn’t real.
I felt very pleased,
and
also relieved.
I opened my eyes.
Everything looked nice.
I glanced at the clock.
It said eight o’clock.
Oh no, I was late for the class.
I had to get ready really
fast!
