dandelion wind
and departing parachutes
awaiting a spring
poetry
autumn with Soin
Beckoning me?
Surely not –
pampas grass

autumn with Issa
Before this autumn wind
even the shadows of mountains
shudder and tremble.

autumn with Ryokan
This morning I will fetch water,
cut firewood,
and pick herbs
during a break
in this autumn shower.
~Ryokan
autumn with Saigyō
Even in a person
most times indifferent
to things around him
they waken feelings–
the first winds of autumn
~Saigyō
past times…
If I should live long,
Then perhaps the present days
May be dear to me,
Just as past time filled with grief
Comes quietly back in thought.

autumn with Sogi
In pine wind
bellsounds shower down
with evening rain.
~Sogi (S Carter, Haiku before Haiku)

autumn with Ikkado Joa
Leaves on the reeds
will be suffering to –
after a storm
~Ikkado Joa (S Carter, Haiku before Haiku)
autumn with Buson
Being alone
may also be pleasant –
autumn dusk.
~Buson (Y Sawa, Haiku Master Buson)
hands
autumn advances
Autumn advances
and I become
a bit sad
closing the gate
to my hut.
~Ryokan (K Tanahashi, Sky Above, Great Wind)
