The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is a beautifully written‚ but yet somewhat sad poem by poet T. S. Eliot. It tells the inner thoughts of a lonely man who is seeking love of a woman‚ but his own fear of rejection causes him to stray from following through with the action.

EXAMPLE (A) Grace Chua’s poem‚ “(love song‚ with two goldfish)” describes a basic love story that yields no happy ending.
