cackling in the sky
that time of the year again
cranes fly south

fall cleaning ~
sour stench o’ green leaves &
wine bottles

fall cleaning ~
dripping gutters &
trash bags

fall cleaning ~
from green to brown
rusting dumpster

fall cleaning ~
spores bloom on
the month-ol’ casserole

fall cleaning ~
scattering the dumpster
yellow leaves

Nature's gentle decline
Leaves fall, the air turns crisp
Winter's embrace draws near

Now it reveals its hidden side
and now the other—thus it falls,
an autumn leaf.

Ryokan (1831)

裏を見せ表を見せて散る紅葉

(ura o mise / omote o misete / chiru momiji)

An most excellent choice of haiku by RYOKAN Taigu!

Interestingly, he wrote this haiku as he lay dying in February 1831, which gives the haiku's reference to autumn an extra poignancy.

If you're interested, all of Ryokan's haiku, in Japanese and English, are here:

Cheers!

Dancing in the autumn breeze

Apples hang low, ripe and red
A sweet taste of fall

I have been quiet over the weekend. The reason? I was at the most lovely haiku festival in Belgium, the Festival van het Maankonijn (moon rabbit), where I was one of the ten nominees. No top3, but for me the prize was being there and seeing my five haiku as tanzuka in the hawthorn hedge.
Translation:
clouds are animals
learning to look again
with children's eyes

A big thanks to curator Geert De Kockere!
