The Fallen Will Forever Stand (Cameron Moll)
Prompt: Read carefully the following poem by Cameron Moll. Then write a well developed essay in which you analyze how the poet uses various literary devices to give meaning to the poem. Pay close attention to form.
Fallen.
In silence we ponder
Momentarily.
Years fail to wash away
Memories that stain the walls of yesterday.
What are They but those we revere?
Indelible is the pain
Yet greater is the courage
Of those who gave the incalculable bequest.
What are we but guardians of the legacy now ours?
Written in our hearts the memories
In perpetuity remain.
Forever
Will the Fallen
Stand.
This poem has a certain thing about it that I wanted to experiment with. I wonder if someone can figure out what that something is, and what it is called.
