Taken By TheSea

Monody writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt Write a monody. A monody is a poem in which one person laments another's death, as in Tennyson's Break, Break, Break, or Wordsworth's She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways. (Also see Dirge, Elegy, Epitaph) Example: The Sea's Handmaiden She often walked along the shore In windy weather or in fair, But now my love shall stroll no more, Nor will the breeze play with her hair. I did not even know her name When she came to me that summer day. A wild thing that I could never tame, But all the same, I thought she'd stay. I've lost her, my love, to the sea Her footsteps fading in the sand. If only the waves would return her to me, So we might stroll hand in hand.
