Constance La France Poet Elegy

Notes About The Poem

Wretched Grief

Oh, the wretched grief father, it haunts me each day,
I think of you in moments so you are always in my heart;
father, you were a simple man but a very great man,
you never hurt another human being and were kind to all.
Teaching me many things along our journey, of nature and life,
things like to do my very best always- to never burn my bridges;
that, to back down in a fight is not weakness- but a strength,
           and that life is like chapters in a book . . .

Caren Krutsinger April 8, 2019 at 12:34 AM A marvelous tribute, but I am still weirded out at the possibility of trying to create an Elegy. Constance La France April 8, 2019 at 5:57 PM Caren, thanks for visiting, Elegy poems are not for everyone, that is why I have given many themes to select from, and 3 different forms hope you give one a try ~

Constance La France April 7, 2019 at 5:51 PM This is an example of an Elegy for my Writing Challenge 1, April 2019, Its All About 8. This is one of three forms to use and one of eight themes. Hope you will give my challenge a try.
