evening cicada–
a last nearby song
to autumn*
~Issa (haiku guy.com)

*David G Lanoue, “a translator of Japanese haiku, a teacher of English and world literature, a writer of haiku and ‘haiku novels,'” offers a footnote to this writing … It’s the last night of autumn. Tomorrow winter.

vast sky
vast earth

autumn wind–
walking along the valley’s cliff
my shadow

amid dewdrops

trailed of clouds
the layered memories
of time forever gone
stands between us now
within dewdrops of autumn
