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.
Old Poem
There’s room in my heart
It has never been filled
I’ve thought were I smart
It would slowly be healed
Still lingers the void
For the one never met
Must forever I mourn
Will I someday forget
This was actually written several years ago about a miscarriage in my family that happened when I was a child. The prompt reminded me of it. Technically it’s not talking about death of a person, more like the death of an idea.
