His sentence:
The grief, surely it's the grief.
From: Star Trek Deep Space Nine Unity, by S.D. Perry
A Chiasmus is used to show that the grief is what is causing the pain.
My Sentence:
The irony, o the irony.

Chiasmus uses this structure ABBA--repeating the words in a phrase or clause in reverse word order. For example: Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.
The model sentence you've given would not be chiasmus.
