rabbit ears pass

Night of the full moon!

The weather in the north land

Is so uncertain.

autumn eve

None goes along this way but I,

This autumn eve.

being seen off…

Now being seen off,

now seeing off – the outcome:

autumn in Kiso.

autumn berries

This dark autumn

old age settles down on me

like heavy clouds or birds

tires of…summer

for the man who says

he tires of his child

there are no flowers

weekly photo challenge: on the way

On and on I travel;

Though I fall and die, let it be

In fields of clover.

library day

Within The Narrow Road to Oku, Basho shares his journey through prose as well as haiku… which seems to me to fit this week’s photo challenge:  On the Way

wet with tears

I cannot speak of

Yudono, but see how wet

My sleeve is with tears.

Come out to view

the truth of flowers blooming

in poverty.

weekly photo challenge: yellow

now I see her face

the old woman, abandoned,

the moon her only companion
