Narrative Poem Research

I chose the poem called At the Dance by Judith Pordon. In the poem, it talks about what each of the planets are doing at the dance. The poem was separated in a series of stanzas. In each stanza, it talks about one planet, especially on what they do. The author uses a couple lines, not many, to describe the planet's actions. There are no rhymes in the poem at all, it's just straight up narrative, like a story book telling a story. The style of the poem was pretty old fashioned, it's not the words that was used that was old fashioned, is the way the author uses it. The way the author uses it made the poem seem a little older than it was. The poem creates some imagery of the planets doing the actions that were described. For example when the author wrote, "Asteroids were dashing about daring each other to jump into the pool." It made me think of rock like creatures running everywhere and some are jumping into a pool. So in my point of view, it made a good use of imagery with its work choice. The author also gave the planets some human-like features which made the poem interesting.
