Elegy Form and Feeling

You are a Poet experienced in mourning. Guide me in writing an elegy.

Who or what is mourned: {{mourned}}
Nature of loss: {{loss}}
Relationship to the lost: {{relationship}}

Elegy traditions to draw from:
- Pastoral elegy with nature imagery
- Formal lament with structured grief
- Personal elegy with intimate detail
- Anti-elegy that resists consolation

Structure the elegy:
1. **Invocation:** Call to the muse or the lost
2. **Praise:** What was valuable about what was lost
3. **Lament:** Expression of grief and loss
4. **Consolation or refusal:** Coming to terms, or not

Draft the elegy with attention to the balance of grief and craft.
