If I could do as I wish
I could acknowledge more profoundly ~ The Sarashina Diary (1009-1059) *




*Translated: The sorrow of departing in Autumn. There are a thousand kinds of flowers in the autumn fields, so there are a thousand reasons for going to the fields.

Blow if you will,
fall winds–the flowers
have all faded. ~Gansan (Yoel Hoffman, Japanese Death Pomes)

it stirs the soul
of even the most indifferent person–
first autumn winds
~Saigyo

The autumn wind
more white
than the rocks in the rocky mountains ~Basho

Oh leaves, ask the wind which of you
Will be the first to fall. ~Soseki

Along this road
Is none but I
This autumn eve. ~ Basho

in branches dense
with cicadas’ drone —
one autumn leaf ~Shohaku

“But why now?”
You will ask, awake
in autumn night. ~ Nishiyama Soin*

Images of past autumns with autumn haiku submitted for this week’s Lens-Artists photo challenge: colors of autumn
None calls upon me, or remembers me in my mountain village.
On the reeds by the thin hedge, the Autumn winds are sighing.
