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*

in the soup kettle…

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*
a skyscape – Blog of Hammad Rais
those clouds forming glandly
high in the sky
but owe it all
to passing winds ~Issa
sharing a weekend skyscape – Blog of Hammad Rais
sun setting’s farewell
to summer’s billowing clouds –
silent turbulence
sharing a weekend sky – Blog of Hammad Rais
eyes gazing across
layered memories of time
evening’s sun glitter
red pedal tractor…
sun-lit hair…freckled-face smile
fading breath of time
In remembrance of Christopher Ernest Broyles, December 10, 1954 ~ January 27, 2014
