Is Alone by Edgar Allan Poe an elegy?

Answer 1

It is not, because a haiku is "A three-line poem in any language, with five syllables in the first and last lines and seven syllables in the second, usually with an emphasis on the season or a naturalistic theme." and Alone by Edgar Allan Poe is much more than three lines.

Answer 2

I believe Edgar Allan Poe's poem Alone is a poem that allows us to dive deeper into his mind. He tells us of his childhood and how he felt. Is it an elegy? Yes, celebrating the death of his childhood.

Answer 3

No, "Alone" by Edgar Allan Poe is not an elegy. It is rather a poem expressing feelings of loneliness and isolation, exploring the theme of solitude rather than mourning or lamenting the dead.
