Elegies

Elegies are poetic expressions that lament or mourn the loss of someone or something. They serve as a way to process grief, honor memory, and reflect on mortality or absence. Typically, elegies explore feelings of sorrow, nostalgia, and longing, often celebrating the virtues of the departed while expressing personal sorrow. While traditionally written about loved ones, elegies can also address broader themes of loss, making them a timeless form for conveying deep emotional reflection through poetry.
