Here is an example of an Elegy Poem:
To a Better Place She Went
April, is there a place
where you are safe, have no cares?
Grab my hand
let me take you there
From the mountains
you will see the tide
go ahead jump
the air will take you for a ride
Over the hills,
the valleys galore;
Skimming the treetops,
the desert floor
Where are you now
in Heaven?
Your pain, your angst
now deadened
Peace you have found
in another land
Aren't you glad
you took my hand?
And though your
family misses you,
they know no other
place will do
Do not cry
nor yearn for love
for all is here
up above
so go now, soar
about your new home
To those left behind
you are never alone
