sometimes I lie awake

wonder
stars
sheep aren’t working

until the sun hits my face

I you do this just for points I will report

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I lie awake at night sometimes

I wonder about things

the stars light always peering through my window

I tried to count sheep, it wont work

I can hear the clock ticking

As time goes by, I finally see the creep through my window

and hit my face

I added more detail to the poem, explaining more about what happened more than the poem before. Narratives usually are more like stories and have detail and tell you what is happening.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

I lie awake at night sometimes

Wondering about stuff

Stars shine through the window to where I lay

I close my eyes and count sheep, to no avail

The clock goes tick tock, tick tock,

Then finally, the sun hits my face

(is this good?)

Definitely more details and description. I took each line and made it more like a narrative. They change it to more of a narrative form because it  is more descriptive. I hope this helps :D
