: Steps to the Past by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
steps to the past

   where we had our last walk—
 
sitting by creek of tears

where gurgling water

sings a requiem chant
 





 

Author Notes
requiem = is a solemn chant for the dead

this week, we are learning how to write a Jisei Haiku. If you want to join the club, click on the link below and find the Haiku Club. All people are welcome.

JISEI HAIKU (death poem) is a genre of Japanese poetry that offers a reflection on death coupled with a meaningful observation on life. It originated in Zen Buddhism The poem's structure can be written in haiku form 5/7/5 syllables OR LESS, or tanka form 5/7/5/7/7 syllables OR LESS. Death poems are typically graceful, natural, and emotionally neutral. Death is described as the imminent death of the poet OR metaphorically references such as sunsets, twilight, autumn, barren fields, falling leaves, bared trees, etc ... to suggest the transience of life.
