Among the dead, By: Karlie Keeney

As I descend the long path to the underworld
A blooming flower I see, I cannot look away
Forced to stare down at this evil beside me
The dew is wept to the cold ground
Falling from within, drowning my sorrows
I will support the majority, oppose the minority
For united we can do anything,
Divided we can conquer nothing
I am dead and forever will be
As I have to watch others around me
Struggling alone to live while I am among others
We can suffer together not in lonesome
Bound by a common thread
We are the dead, we are the fallen flowers
When one joins we comfort them
As they feel they have became a demon
They may now rest in peace in the newfound heaven

Analysis of Poem using Literary and Rhetoric Techniques
-Line 1) I make use of an allusion by portraying the path leading to hell
-Line 2) Symbolism is used because flowers are normally thought of as a good and pretty thing where in the poem they are viewed as bad and evil
-Line 3) My diction of the poem is a very evil form of word choice where instead of praising flowers I am degrading them
-Line 4) The use of personification is used by saying "The dew wept to the cold ground" Flowers do release dew, but they do not weep the dew as a human like quality of crying
-Line 5) In this line I make use of irony because flowers have no emotions but yet I state "drowning my sorrows"
-Line 6) Antithesis is used in the form of  "I will support the majority, oppose the minority" I am using contrasting ideas or words used in a parallel structure.
-Line 7) Finally I use Inversion which is using an inverted order of words in a sentence "For united we can do anything, divided we can conquer nothing"
