Death

Know not when you sleep
             sleep is bliss so is death
                      Discern not when you die



First time I write Haiku.

The poet Blake has said in his poem that death is nothing but slumber. Suresh

Really like the wisdom behind this haiku, Suresh. It would fall into the "modern haiku" category where you don't have to use a 5-7-5 syllable scheme. Well done, especially for a first effort! Love and blessings, Carolyn
