Haiku: The Japanese Poems | | | A haiku is traditionally a Japanese poem consisting of three short lines that do not rhyme. The origin of haiku poems can be traced back as far as the 9th century. In effect, a haiku is considered to be more than a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence. It should leave the reader with a strong feeling or impression. The Haiku written by Dr Shahnaz relates so intimately with what goes on in the mind of COVID patient. The mind of the patient is clouded with the thought of death, the fear of losing the dearest ones, yet the very nature of the disease precludes the patient from sharing these emotions. Since the certainty of death occupies the imagination of the patient, he or she wishes to share few precious thoughts, convey few emotions and pass on the legacies to the survivors. The reader will find the depth as he or she.

Will you tell them That I was brave That I did not cry That I died well Please Place these flowers In my hand I will greet God They told me I was ill Very ill Does it mean I have to die I could choose to live, also Allow me I forgot to take you in my arms one last time You see We had so much in mind And I thought I will be back Soonw Tell them I loved them all I don't have time with me anymore To waste One last breath Maybe I hear you in my mind I see you so clear If you were here I would have lived My swan song And you are not even there to hear it The walls will echo Do you remember You have to Now that you will be alone How I loved you, once If you were here You could then feel How my heart is pounding And they say Just Breathe I have no thoughts I have no words Silent as the night sky Tomorrow they will take me away When I am no more Sit by my grave some time Carry jasmine flowers What else would I need
