Japanese Poetry

I always thinking about how to made a lyrics from a poem,so i try to look for some inspiration from Japanese Poetry. And one of the poem that i've found is a poem by Ono no Komachi,one of the six best waka poets of the early Heian Period. She was renowned for her unusual beauty and it said that she's one of the beautiful girl in the world,the other was Cleopatra from Egypt and Yang Guifei from China. When i looked up about her poems in http://www.wakapoetry.net/ i found that most of her poems is about a guy called Fukakusa no Shosho,if he can visited her for a 100 day then she gonna accept his proposal for her. Unfortunately he died in the 99th day,when she finds out about him she feels a deep sadness and made the poems for Fukakusa no Shosho.


So i try to thinking about what if i'm the one in Fukakusa no Shosho and Ono no Komachi postion and made in into the lyrics,and what i've learned from that is IT'S MAKE MY HEART BREAKS AF. Even though i've been faced with the facts about my girlfriend passed away,but this is too much for me to handle damn it. Maybe i can used it as the inspiration for my lyrics and i hoped it can be used for my songs,when this post finished and posted i'm gonna look for Ono no Komachi poems and used it. Even if it makes me shed a tear lol,so what do you guys think about poetry that makes you cry? Please tell me in the comment section below.
