<span>Dramatic Narrative: Ballads usually tell a
story, focusing on one dramatic event, and the story is usually told in
plain, everyday language. Casey definitely has these requirements
covered. The poem has a cast of characters and a story with a clear
beginning, middle, and end. And "Casey…" doesn't send you running for
the dictionary every other line.</span><span>Song: Ballads were traditionally stories meant to be sung. The poem's epigraph, "Sung in the Year 1888 [our emphasis]," along with the poem's strong meter and rhyme, indicate a song-i-ness that fulfills this requirement quite nicely.</span>Meter-Line-Stanza: Ballads are traditionally in iambic lines. Iambs
are those little, two-syllable units that follow an unstressed-stressed
syllable patten. They make that daDUM sound that seems to pop up so
often in poetry. You can really hear those iambs right from the poem's
very first line:
The
outlook
wasn't
brilliant
for the
Mudville
nine that
day<span>
.</span>
Did you hear that daDUM daDUM daDUM pattern? That, is the rhythm of the iambs—seven in all in this line.
In
addition to those iambs, ballad lines follow a strict rhyme scheme and
are grouped into four-line stanzas called quatrains. In "Casey at the
Bat," the quatrains follow an AABB rhyme scheme, where each letter
represents that line's end rhyme. Take a look at the end words from
stanza one to see it in action:
day A
play A
same B
game B

[Poem structure - stanzas. In prose, ideas are usually grouped together in paragraphs. In poems, lines are often grouped together into what are called stanzas. Like paragraphs, stanzas are often used to organize ideas.</span>]
