the sun goes down –
but evening light remains
in the leaves ~ Nijo Yoshimoto*

thursday’s special: fall
jump on over to Paula’s to participate in this week’s challenge: fall
a single leaf
Beneath a tree,
autumn wind shows itself
in a single leaf ~Junkaku*

journey piled on journey
Journey piled on journey
At a distance of a thousand years
Will you see?
From the pines of Sue,
To the living pine groves

upper branches
The fall of leaves
has left some autumn
on the upper branches
autumn
No trail to follow
where the teacher has wandered off —
the end of autumn

wordless wednesday
a wanderer
Going through the gate,
I am also a wanderer
this twilight in autumn.

autumn’s messenger
What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means. What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see. You should not let it pass, thinking there will be another chance to see it or to acquire it. It is quite unusual to have a second chance to materialize your desire.

autumn eve
None goes along this way but I,
This autumn eve.
