Hello there! The statement "lyric poems do not tell a story" is false.

The purpose of lyric poems is to show an emotion or feeling, but not really to tell a story. The word "lyric" comes from the latin word "lyricus," which means "of/for the lyre." Lyric poems usually used to be with music, displaying a certain melodic mood, but they don't tell a story.

I hope this helped you and have a great day!

A lyric poem is a comparatively short, non-narrative poem in which a single speaker presents a state of mind or an emotional state
