The Ugliest Death

To die of a broken heart, that is the ugliest death imaginable.

Oh Tragedy, Tragedy,
Thou hath befallen men,
Most gruelingly.

Oh Death, Death,
The end doth begin,
We taketh our last breath.

Oh Pain, Pain,
Pierceth my heart,
Much disdain.

Oh Love, Love,
Thou hath done thy part,
'Ere fly the dove.

Oh Heart, Heart,
As thou doth reach thy end,
I do depart.

Oh Cruelty, Cruelty,
Such a tragic descent,
To die a death so ugly.

Oh Heart, Heart,
From your niche, ripped,
I am forever scarred.

Oh Love, Love,
The heart hath been removed,
The ugliest death thereof...

I loved the repetition, as it emphasized the points (I think anyway).
That, and I'm just in love with repetition. I use it too often to be sane.
I also like how I kind of got a bigger piece of the point as I went along. That's all I think...
A great poem! I liked it, anyway...

I am forever amazed at those who can write in the old style because I myself never really tried to do that. It has a nice theme and well-versed lines. I like the idea of referring to a loss of heart or emotions into something tragic. I find this sort of exaggeration a delicious twist.

Keep Writing. ^___^

the repetition adds to the mood of this poem.

"oh heart, oh heart,
from your niche , ripped,
I am forever scarred."

For some reason it reminded me of Dante's Inferno.. I enjoyed the repetition, emphasizing the true grief of one who dies without a heart. That truly is an ugly way to die.. Metaphorically and physically. There was a deeper, darker meaning, it seemed, underlying this poem as well.

I love it:)
