ballad
haiku
free verse
limerick

Explanation:

A ballad is a long narrative poem that tells a story (often a life story) and typically uses rhymes. Haikus are short, focused on nature; free verse has no set rhyme or structure; limericks are short, humorous poems. Marcus needs a long, rhyming narrative for a musician's life, so a ballad is the best fit.

Answer:

Ballad
