Ballads tell of an event. They were often used to spread the news, provide entertainment, or create a "bigger than real life" story.
So i took my own stab at a ballad. I wrote it about the fire in Herriman these past few days. It's not good, but ... it is what it is. :)
The fire did start in Herriman
Upon a Sunday night
Begun by the National Guard
And put everyone in a fright
They evacuated homes
Over 4000 acres burned
Only 3 homes were destroyed
To return the victims yearned
On Wednesday it was safe
For all to go back home
Relief was sighed at last
For those no more to roam.
