Question

PLS HELPPPP Change the short poem below to a poem with narrative elements. Then describe the changes you made in 2-3 sentences, as well as how they change the poem to a more narrative form. sometimes I lie awake at night wonder stars sheep aren’t working clock ticks until the sun hits my face

Answer 1

Sometimes I lie awake at night

Wondering why

Counting stars or sheep doesn't work anymore.

The clock keeps on ticking

And before I realize,

The Sun has already hit my face.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main thing that distinguishes narrative poetry, is a clear goal to tell a story in a more straight forward manner that is easier to follow. In the short poem for the exercise, we have various images that share a certain theme but are somewhat disjointed. What I did was use connectors ("and before I realize") and a few actions ("counting", "keeps on ticking", "has already hit") that seemed organic and blended well with the imagery given.

Hope this helps!
