Iio Sogi "this autumn sky"


Carpe Diem Special #125, Sogi's first "this autumn sky"

ah, for coolness,
it rivals the water's depth -
this autumn sky
© Iio Sogi (1421-1502)


this autumn breeze
tangled with scents of summer
ah, delight


ah, the warmth
golden fields of wheat beckoning
in the autumn sun

    The way I can feel the warmth reflect so well the original haiku.

    The intwining of the senses caught in two great haiku ... thank you for sharing Dolores.
