poetrypea.com presents the final part of a three part series on allusive variation in poetry. This time Honzetsu, in which a piece of prose writing is the foundation piece. Lots of contemporary poetic examples and some long form poetry in this edition too. Themes of sadness, death, decay, age and bravado, as well as the wistfulness of children's stories.
