Question

How do poets and writers typically describe death

Answer 1

they will usually use metaphors or similes to describe their feelings. for example edgar allen pie made stories that were fake but described death that probably happened to him
ex-“the waves crashed like it hurt the soul” this could describe death but making the reader understand the way waves hit somebody

Answer 2

In most cases, the way that they will describe it is by using imagery to indirectly descrbe it. However, sometimes the author/poet may choose to outright speak it out, though it detracts from the overall tone of the passage.
