A chapter in the book 2023 Gypsy's Tanka
Across Barren Fields
by Gypsy Blue Rose

when all is said and done
death comes for all of us — guiding our souls across barren fields at dusk to wait for a new dawn  |
Dedicated to Dean Kuch, FanStory's Horror Master. May he rest in peace.

JISEI (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.
