Odiljenje sigetsko takes a nostalgic and elegic tone.
It consists of four parts (dil), of which three consist of letters to other parties, monologues, or dialogues which express sorrow or departure at the end of after the aforementioned siege with the Ottomans.
These parts utilize literary devices such as anthropomorphism and fantastic elements such as fairies.
The dialogue between Sophia, the muse of one of the participants of the battle Gašpar Alapić and the hawk, who informs her of Alapić's death taking part shortly after the conclusion of the siege was a motive taken from a folk song.
The last part provides shorter poems similar to occasional poetry which are called tombstones (nadgrobnice) and represent voices from a number of killed individuals such as Suleiman the Magnificent and Nikola Šubić Zrinski.
Proverbs are particularly present throughout Odiljenje sigetsko, showing a tendency to bring it closer to lesser-educated parts of society.
These largely deal with inevitability of death, appropriate for the subject of "farewell" during or after battle.
