Death Poetry

Death is both terrifying and inevitable, a part of life none of us will escape. It can be viewed as dreadful or beautiful, and poets have written countless words to express this strange dichotomy over the centuries. If you are fascinated by this subject, or need to process your loss, this is the right section for you.
