Journal 5: Elegy

In literature, an elegy (from the Greek word for "lament") is a mournful, melancholic or plaintive poem, especially a funeral song or a lament for the dead.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elegy‎)

Compose an Elegy for Friday (14 lines).  Beneath the elegy write three responses: three sentences about why you wrote the poem, three sentences about the poetic devices (include at least 4 in your poem two of which need to be masculine and feminine rhyme), and three sentences about the form for an elegy.  Make sure to include three vocabulary words from Unit 10 either in your poem and/or in your responses.
