“Autumn” by Amy Lowell [w/ Audio]
All day I have watched the purple vine leaves
Fall into the water.
And now in the moonlight they still fall,
But each leaf is fringed with silver.

the ancient voice of a

and quiet days:

a couple of rice cakes:
it's summertime.
AUTUMN
morning glories
are tousled by
Autumn winds.

and snow fall
upon me.

Four Seasonal Haiku of Ryōkan [w/ Audio]
Spring
rainy days
make the monk Ryōkan
feel sad.
Summer
the moon in my window
is all the thief left behind.
Autumn
an autumn wind
chills the dangling persimmons,
and my testicles.
Winter
little birds have
gathered in the brushwood
on a snowy morn.

Ripe Grass [Haiku]
heavy-headed grass sways:
the clockwork counting down
the days of Autumn.
