Another most widely used form of poetry is ….
A Ballad is a poem that tells a story, which are often used in songs because of their rhyme. It is usually with foreshortened alternating four- and three-stress lines (‘ballad meter’) and simple repeating rhymes, and often with a refrain.Heres a Ballad poem for you:
Peek a boo- Peek a boo
with its sweet voice
sings the cuckoo
Hoping a tree to other,
paints the morning hue.
Never seems to be tired,
could hum all through
Try mocking it
sure, would return it back to you
But hell, such a lovely bird,
may also lose its virtue
For dumping its eggs,
other birds it would woo.
Hook onto its look alikes,
as brood parasiting it pursue
The crow knows nothing,
focuses on nesting work to do
Hatches the eggs and bring them up,
unaware hers are only a few
Only when they grow and sing
it makes out the cocooooo…
they break the mothers bond,
and, there ends the issue

Hi ‘Uni’ ~~ Thank you for the refresher on Ballads, I needed that. Yours is beautiful even for this nonbirdlover. (I do have a bird sitting on a post with my Day Four post.)
