Explanation:
Both types of poetry use similar literary devices like repetition, alliteration, imagery, irony. For example, Walt Whitman’s lyric poem “I Hear America Singing” use alliteration and repetition where he repeats the word "singing" and adds settings: "shoemaker singing as he sits,” “ hatter singing as he stands,” “the boatman singing on the boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck.”
Compare that to Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s narrative poem, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” where Coleridge writes, "Swiftly, swiftly flew the ship, Yet she sailed softly too: Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze— On me alone it blew,” “Alone, alone, all, all, alone. Alone on a wide, wide sea.”
