pathetic.org members may categorize their work so that visitors to the site can find a particular type of poetry more easily. Because a piece may fit in more than one category, you may come across a particular poem several times. Whether you are looking for poetry written in a particular style, or a poem on a certain topic, you can browse through the categories listed here to find a variety of works that meet the criteria.

Elegy: A poem of lament, usually formal and sustained, over the death of a particular person; also, a meditative poem in plaintive or sorrowful mood, such as, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, by Thomas Gray. NOTE: The pastoral elegy became conventional in the Renaissance and continued into the nineteenth century. Traditionally, pastoral elegies included an invocation, a lament in which all nature joined, praise, sympathy, and a closing consolation, as in John Milton's Lycidas. (See also dirge, epitaph, monody)
