Haiku about Autumn


On October 14, I drove up '鳥海ブルーライン' , 'The Chokai Blue Line', which is a driving route to the half point of Mt. Chokai, 2236 meters high. There I took some pictures and wrote some haiku.


Autumn trees

making themselves up--

Mt. Chokai


秋の木木粧ひ始む鳥海山

aki no kigi yosooi hajimu Chokaisan



Autumn lakes

making room --

migrating birds


秋の湖渡る鳥あり憩ふ間に

aki no umi wataru tori ari ikou ma ni

Haiku about Harvest


On October 14, I visited Kisakata, Akita, and drove up the hillside to Mt. Chokai, where rice was reaped and being dried up near the rice fields. I took some pictures of them and wrote haiku.


Harvest time --

ears of rice bathing

in the sun


収穫の日向に浴す稲穂かな

shuukaku no hinata ni yokusu inaho kana


On October 19, a Finnish poet, Mr. Juhani Tikkanen, wrote the following haiku:


Harvest time --

approaching winter

ready to celebrate


収穫時祝いを備ふ冬近し

shuukakuji iwai wo sonau fuyu chikasi


Mr. Tikkanen's haiku is shown in his blog 'TIKKIS'.


My haiku appeared on the Asahi Haikuist Network on October 16, whose address is http://www.asahi.com/english/haiku/.


Harvest moon

filling the vineyard hut --

the first wine


初ワイン名月葡萄小屋を照らしけり

hatsu wain meigetsu budou goya wo terasi keri


A Scottish poet, Mr. John McDonald, wrote the following scots haiku in his haiku book, 'FUME O PEAT REEK':

a freithy yill


full moon --

raising

a frothy beer


満月や泡立つビール醸し出す

mangetsu ya awadatsu biiru kamosidasu

Haiku about Autumn Rice Fields


Harvest moon appeared on October 3. Now is one of the best periods in Akita.

Akita is written in Kanji characters, ' 秋 and 田 ' , each of which means 'autumn' and 'rice fields'.

Akita is used for the name of a city and a prefecture, so our prefecture, ' 秋田県' (Akitaken), has a lot of rice fields, and is famous for its good rice and various products and dishes from rice.

Rice fields are very beautiful now, and you can enjoy their beautiful sights on our website: http://akitahaiku.wordpress.com/.


My haiku and picture also appeared on the site.


天高し稲田見守る太平山

Mt. Taihei

watching rice fields

autumn high skies

My Haiku on the Asahi Haikuist Network(October 2, 2009)

On October 2, four days ago, my two haiku appeared on the Asahi Haikuist Network by David McMurray.

Composing
ode for autumn wind
hermitage
侘び住い秋風に寄す詩作かな
wabizumai akikaze ni yosu sisaku kana
Pink cosmos
stay as my daughter
postlude winds
This haiku is very difficult to translate into Japanese, so I wrote tanka(短歌) in Japanese first to explain the situations in the above haiku.
嫁ぐ子はコスモス眺む縁の先別れを奏す風の音かな
totsugu ko wa kosumosu nagamu en no saki
wakare wo sousu kaze no oto kana
Betrothed daughter
admiring pink cosmos
on the veranda
the sound of winds
playing postlude
Please look into my haiku on the website: http://www.asahi.com/english/haiku/.
