Through the Window

For Rules, Please Read My Author Notes

DEATH POEM is a genre of poetry that developed in Japan. They tend to offer a reflection on death coupled with a meaningful observation on life. It originates in Zen Buddhism. The poem's structure can be written in haiku 5/7/5 or tanka 5/7/5/7/7 form. Death poems are typically graceful, natural, and emotionally neutral. Death described, metaphorically, references such as sunsets, autumn or falling cherry blossom suggest the transience of life. wikipedia
