Casey at the Bat

I enjoyed reading the narrative poems a lot more than the nonsense ones. I like the fact that they tell an actual story rather than just talk about random things. My favorite of all the narrative poems we read for class was "Casey at the Bat". I am a big sports fan and this is a great sports poem. I like how the story begins during the last inning and there is excitement in the air in Mudville. The tone it is written in makes for an intense scene where Casey is up to bat and must have a hit to win the game. You can clearly in vision this in your own mind and I love that!
