Elegy

a type of poem written either to commemorate or to mourn about someone.

"Elegy on His Cat"
I have not lost my rings, my purse,
My gold, my gems-my loss is worse,
One that the stoutest heart must move.
My pet, my joy, my little love,
My tiny kitten, my Belaud,
I lost, alas, three days
 ago.

Elegies are written mostly to mourn for people who died and elegies are mostly written in forms of metaphors.
