Please help!?

Question

I am in the 8th grade and I have to write a stupid ballad poem. The problem is I really don't know what that is and I don't know what to write about. Please help!

can you give me a idea of what to write about?

Answer 1

Ballads are poems that tell a story. They are considered to be a form of narrative poetry. They are often used in songs and have a very musical quality to them.

The basic form for ballads is iambic heptameter (seven sets of unstressed, stressed sylables per line), in sets of four, with the second and fourth lines rhyming. This is the standard, but we do not require you to follow it rigidly in the poetry you submit to us, especially since very few people use or even know the standard! Feel free to experiment, but remember, it should have a smooth, song-like sound when you speak it aloud.

Here is an example:


Ballad Poems & Love, Romantic, Weddings, Romance, I love you Poetry


Love sways

When grey clouds fill the sky
And the tides are so high
Oh! Damsel don’t cry
Don’t bid me bye! Bye!

When the sea is so calm
And the sunshine so warm
Let’s join in the mood
Come on make me feel good

Remember I vowed to be with you always
Like the trees in their sways
You are my wind to follow
Caress me in your gentle blow

Answer 2

I assume you know what a poem is; ok, now look up ballad. Then, I would ask some of my classmates what they are writing about. This should give you comparative ideas.
