Cee’s cmmc: october autumn colors
two blue plaid shirts
one in a darkened window –
blurry reflection

oatmeal with walnuts
Mother Earth, sunshine, and rain –
in my breakfast bowl

Night sky …. Summer moon
A cricket’s lullaby — for
Sleeping Gwen and friends

Dawn sky … drifting clouds
Robins and doves birdsong — for
Waking Gwen and friends
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
waiting for autumn…
Compared to last year,
this has even more loneliness —
autumn evening ~Buson (Haiku Master Buson, Trans: Y Sawa & E Shiffert)

Leaves submitted in response to Cee’s flower of the day photo challenge
I grasp
in the darkness of the heart
a firefly. ~Buson (Y Sawa & EM Shiffert, Haiku Master Buson)

Cee’s black and white photo challenge: patterns
wild geese —
between their cries, a slice
of silence ~Katsura Nobuko*

a clear view
in the soup kettle…
Milky Way ~Issa*

Even in our wandering journey,
The lonely moon accompanies us lighting us from the sky
The waning moon I used to gaze at in the Royal City. ~The Sarashina Diary*

those clouds forming glandly
high in the sky
but owe it all
to passing winds ~Issa

to summer’s billowing clouds –
silent turbulence
