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.

Death Of A Lamp

The house is dark, quiet

Children are crying

Adult’s laughter has now faded into serious conversations

What once was happy is now melancholy

The rooms are cold

Objects casting large strange shadows

There is hate and sorrow in the air

Something is missing

Something to lighten up the house

Something that is gone for awhile

Something that is cold and unmoving

Alone on a table

The lamp sits
