Example Narrative Poem Clooney the Clown by
Shel Silverstein

• I'll tell you the story of Cloony the ClownWho
  worked in a circus that came through town.His
  shoes were too big and his hat was too small,But
  he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all.He had
  a trombone to play loud silly tunes,He had a
  green dog and a thousand balloons.He was floppy
  and sloppy and skinny and tall,But he just
  wasn't, just wasn't funny at all.And every time
  he did a trick,Everyone felt a little sick.And
  every time he told a joke,Folks sighed as if
  their hearts were broke.And every time he lost a
  shoe,Everyone looked awfully blue.And every
  time he stood on his head,Everyone screamed, "Go
  back to bed!"And every time he made a
  leap,Everybody fell asleep.And every time he
  ate his tie,Everyone began to cry.And Cloony
  could not make any moneySimply because he was
  not funny.One day he said, "I'll tell this
  townHow it feels to be an unfunny clown."And he
  told them all why he looked so sad,And he told
  them all why he felt so bad.He told of Pain and
  Rain and Cold,He told of Darkness in his soul,

• And after he finished his tale of woe,Did
  everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,They laughed until
  they shook the treesWith "Hah-Hah-Hahs" and
  "Hee-Hee-Hees."They laughed with howls and yowls
  and shrieks,They laughed all day, they laughed
  all week,They laughed until they had a fit,They
  laughed until their jackets split.The laughter
  spread for miles aroundTo every city, every
  town,Over mountains, 'cross the sea,From Saint
  Tropez to Mun San Nee.And soon the whole world
  rang with laughter,Lasting till forever
  after,While Cloony stood in the circus
  tent,With his head drooped low and his shoulders
  bent.And he said,"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT -I'M
  FUNNY JUST BY ACCIDENT."And while the world
  laughed outside.Cloony the Clown sat down and
  cried.

SAMPLE Extended MetaphorThe Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

• Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I
  could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I
  stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo
  where it bent in the undergrowthThen took the
  other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the
  better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted
  wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad
  worn them really about the same, 

• And both that morning equally layIn leaves no
  step had trodden black.Oh, I marked the first
  for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to
  wayI doubted if I should ever come back.I
  shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages
  and ages henceTwo roads diverged in a wood, and
  I,I took the one less traveled by,And that has
  made all the difference.
