POEM STARTER
Write an elegy about the death of something other than a person.
An elegy is a sad poem, traditionally expressing sorrow for someone who has passed away.
History Rises
History rises from the ashes
It starts a new life, all the same
It doesn’t have to cut its hair
It doesn’t have to change its name
In its place, democracy grows weak
It coughs and wipes spittle from its neck
As it takes its last weepy breath,
It says, “The world is a fucking wreck.”
