Poetry is a literary form that combines the precise meanings of words with their emotional associations and musical qualities.
There are three main types of poetry:
Lyric - a short poem that expresses the thoughts and feelings of a single reader
Narrative - a poem that tells a story; includes epics and ballads
Dramatic - a poem that presents the speech of one or more speakers in a dramatic situation
*This following stanza is an excerpt from a lyric poem by John Clare.
I hid my love when young till I
Couldn't bear the buzzing of a fly;
I hid my love to my despite
Till I could not bear to look at light:
I dare not gaze upon her face
But left her memory in each place;
Where'er I saw a wild flower lie
I kissed and bade my love good-bye.
His thoughts and feelings stand out by the use of repetition (by repeating "I hid my love")
*The following excerpt is from Edgar Allen Poe's poem, The Raven. In this poem, the narrator experiences a conflict between the desire to forget and the desire to remember.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”
The differences between the two poems are that Clare's poem expresses his own thoughts and feelings. No one else speaks in first-person either than him. It is short and very expressive as well.
In contrast, Edgar Allen Poe's poem tells a story. The poem has a theme and characters. This poem is immediately distinguishable from other poems as a narrative because of the first words "once upon."

You did a good job with that. However, I would change "results in ozone depletion" to "results in the depletion of ozone". This would catch the eye of readers.

Have you ever being in a situation where you tried to do something you always excelled in previously but all of a sudden you just flopped?
This was my story on this day. As a child I was a pretty good dancer and everyone around loved watching me dance. Well, I was till my friends in high school made me enter into a dancing competition.
The music was good, the crowd was friendly to an extent but when I got to the stage all I could do was to sway from side to side. My friends kept on cheering me on. But I couldn't just help it. I eventually stopped trying when one of the judges asked me to get off the stage, that I had no business coming for the contest.
I felt like I had wasted everybody's time so while walking out of the building I had my eyes on the flow with my head bowed. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.
