The reason why I chose to write these poems in the style of an elegy is because I felt that I wanted to express the feeling of sorrow and sadness. The poem I created shower meaning into the reader's mind. For example, the section in my poem, "Death Sentence", has a part "defining definite death". That part has a streak of alliteration. The phrase helps the reader feel the action rise. The ending of that poem ends with your death occurring. The 2nd poem I created here is about a man who can be either young or old which is up to the reader to decide. He lives alone  while travelling the world to find a home, with the thing that fills a home. I like 1 part and that is the line "Himself". This line is all alone, like the lone soul  of that of the man the poem speaks of.
