Note: MUG passed away last night (June 25th, 2006) at 10:57 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. As you know, it was sick for a while. It helped a lot of people in a lot of ways during it's hey-day, though. Anyway, before I get too teary eyed, I'm gonna end this little goodbye to MUG. Just thought you should know why it's kinda glazed over. The poetry will stay here so people can view it. So long, though, and thanks for all the fish. MUG is dead. Long live poetry. Signed, kpaul (luap) mallasch
Ballads are very narrative in form. Poems of this type are more often than not able to easily be sung, employing iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter.
