I named my poem “The Love in Greif”. I chose to use the song “Glitter” by Patrick Droney. I chose this song because it was used to represent my best friend at her funeral who passed last year. This song represents the good and the bad in grieving. I chose to use it because I knew I could make something beautiful and full of contrast.

The method I used to create this poem was to try and place the words in the shape of a heart. I also chose one side of the heart to be the positive side of loving people and the other side to be the darker side. I made it clear which side was which by shading the darker side. At the bottom of the heart is a really good quote which is “but no one really dies if the love remains” I really love this quote because it is true people keep living in your memories and in your hearts till the end of time. Making this poem really touched me because it was inspired by my friend Carli.
