Critique 3 - Elegy for My Sister

On Elegy for My Sister by Sherod Santos

This poem evokes a mood of sadness through the diction and calm tone. It starts off with a list of things that reminds the speaker of his sister. I think this is a creative way to start a poem. The list suggests that the speaker misses his sister a lot. They must have been close because there's so much that reminds him of her. The last stanza indicates that the person died young because she had a doll and an imaginary friend.
