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.

Memories To Ashes

Liberty felt free

free as the wind

she stayed true to herself.


An overachiever I might add

always knew what she wanted,

and how to obtain it.


She never stopped chasing her

dreams even if it meant going the full mile.


Loved by all, but never

forgotten. We held onto

hope like a Cherokee Rose.


Full of laughter and joy

the kind of joy that

leaves a person feeling

like there is more to life than

living through clear waters.


Except what happens when

all that joy and laughter comes

to an end?


The person that

you once held so dear inside

your arms have been stripped

away from your life. A flame

that burns the memories.


But leaves your heart in a

painful mess because

all that’s left is ashes.
