(Elegy-style poem)
So you lied there all clad in white,
A young girl who just lost a fight,
With a rare and unknown disease,
Wake up, sister, please, WAKE UP, PLEASE! But wait there’s more!
* Elegy-style poems
The elegy began as an ancient Greek metrical form and is traditionally written in response to the death of a person or group. Though similar in function, the elegy is distinct from the epitaph, ode, and eulogy: the epitaph is very brief; the ode solely exalts; and the eulogy is most often written in formal prose.
The elements of a traditional elegy mirror three stages of loss. First, there is a lament, where the speaker expresses grief and sorrow, then praise and admiration of the idealized dead, and finally consolation and solace.
Many modern elegies have been written not out of a sense of personal grief, but rather a broad feeling of loss and metaphysical sadness.
My noble, widowed Grandmother poem
(Elegy-style poem)
In the quiet night,
The shining moon light,
Reminds me of your face,
That was brimful of grace. But wait there’s more!
