These are called NARRATIVE POEMS. Just like the regular stories which you read in your literature courses, a narrative poem also has the same basic elements. It has a setting, one or more characters in it, usually a conflict, a plot which builds up to a climax, and even a conclusion, oftentimes.
It contains rhythm, rhyme, stress and repetition but differs from other types of poetry because it includes protagonists, antagonists, detailed settings, plot developments, conflicts and resolutions. Narrative poetry combines poetic language with short-story elements. Many narrative poems began as oral traditions.
