photo friday: vibrant
autumn disrobes-
casting off a brocade
of falling leaves ~Noa
—
the sound
of brocade in the making?
rain in glowing trees ~Gyojo
Both of these poems were translated by Steven D Carter’s Haiku Before Haiku. He noted that the rich and varied colors of autumn leaves are often compared to the look of brocade and that Noa’s writing evokes the image of Maiden of Tatsuta, a mythological creature associated with weaving, dyeing, and autumn leaves.
