DEFINITION: A poem especially written for the death of someone
EXAMPLE: life after death is silent
as in a cemetery
mourners came and went
dirge and elegy are gone
death does not hear
even a silent prayer
death does not see
even the dark underground
when death does speak
you do not hear
when death does smile
you do not see
a song of those who are no more
cannot be sung
the singer of another world
cannot be seen
life is not a drama
world is not a stage
the theater is empty
in a drunken town
SIGNIFICANCE: People who write elegy can express how much they miss and feel about the loss of someone special to them.
