A Japanese Autumn
Risshuu
The first leaf drops down
Leaving all the trees stripped bare
Modesty removed
Shukki
your Breath hangs in clouds
Word shaped clouds just float away
On the morning air
Shuushoku
Leaves are summers tears
Each one a golden goodbye
To summers passing
Aki no koe
The cracking of leaves
Rain falling on a tin roof
Wind rattling windows
