From the Paper:

" Poetry began in prehistoric times when people passed down their oral history in poetic language and song. There are three specific types of poetry including lyrical, narrative, and dramatic. Lyric poetry is any poem that is short in length. Narrative poems tell stories, an epic or ballad. Dramatic poetry also tells a story, but in this case one or more of the poem's characters acts out the story. In order to select the right poems to read to kids the reader must choose poems that are age and content appropriate."
