Ballad

A pop ballad is a slow-tempo song that typically features emotional lyrics and a strong focus on melody. It is often characterized by its heartfelt and sentimental themes, making it a popular choice for artists to showcase their vocal abilities and connect with listeners on an emotional level.

"La Belle Dame sans Merci" by John Keats and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge are examples of well-known ballad poems. These poems typically tell a story in a simple and lyrical way, often with a repeated refrain or stanza.

John Donne wrote the poem "The Song" (commonly known as "A Ballad Upon A Wedding") which was first published in 1633. The poem humorously describes a wedding ceremony and celebrates the couple's love.

cause i am tyler obrian and iam a bad m***********

It's about a young black girl named Mabbie who has a crush on a kid named Willie Boone. She likes to go to school because she can sit next to him, and waits for him at the gates toward the end of the poem and he comes out half and hour after school, wearing an animal fur (lynx), then she's all alone.

I don't really know where the hell he goes or why the lynx thing is important but... *shrugs*

What happens is Willie Boone leaves Mabbie for a light-colored skin girl (That what the lynx is reference to)

Ballads traditionally do not have happy endings, with questions still being asked. In Australian ballad, which often extol virtues of courage or loyalty, they often finish happily, or sometimes with a lesson being learnt.

One could have - but usually a ballad is a lot longer as it tells a story. Verses can vary in length between four and a dozen or more lines, depending upon the intent of the author. There can be any number of verses. A sonnet always has fourteen lines.

In a kingdom far away, a maiden fair and kind, Her beauty sought by a knight, leaving no enemies behind. But a wicked stepmother, her envy deep as night, Cast a curse upon the lovers, leaving them in plight.

The knight, with courage strong, fought battles near and far, To break the curse that kept them apart under the evening star. Through trials and tribulations, their love remained true, In the end, their bond prevailed, a love story for the ages to view.

The tall lank visitors in "The Ballad of William Sycamore" are likely a personification of death or spirits coming to take William Sycamore away. Their appearance is ominous and signals an impending change or reckoning in the narrative.

A ballad poem typically consists of four-line stanzas with a rhyme scheme of either ABAB or ABCB. The length can vary, but a traditional ballad can have multiple stanzas, each telling a story or narrative.

It was Lynyrd Skynyrd. Check it on YouTube:)

A ballad is a type of narrative poem that tells a story, often focusing on themes of love, adventure, or folklore. It typically has a simple and rhythmic structure that makes it easy to be set to music.

Some appropriate ballads for school settings could include "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers, "Firework" by Katy Perry, "Brave" by Sara Bareilles, and "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. These songs have positive messages and are well-known, making them suitable for school events or performances.

Bothy ballads are traditional Scottish folk songs that originated in the northeast region of Scotland. They typically tell stories of rural life, work on farms, and the experiences of farm laborers living in bothies (basic farm cottages) during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The lyrics often feature themes of hard work, camaraderie, humor, and sometimes romance.

Dudley Randall wrote the poem "Ballad of Birmingham" in response to the 1963 racially motivated bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, which killed four young African American girls. The poem reflects on the tragedy of the event and the impact of racism and violence on innocent lives.
