Haiku about Autumn (6)

Chiyo-ni (Kaga no Chiyo)(千代尼 1703-1775) was a Japanese poet of the Edo period, widely regarded as one of the greatest female haiku poets.

She is perhaps best known for this haiku:

朝顔に釣瓶とられてもらい水

Asagao ni tsurube torare te morai mizu

morning glory!

the well bucket-entangled,

I ask for water

(trans. Donegan and Ishibashi)

My haiku are as follows:

With the sun

do morning glories rise

another day

日と共に朝顔立てる新たなり

Hi to tomoni asagao tateru arata nari

The storm gone

morning glories turn

deeper blue

嵐止む濃き朝顔の青さかな

Arashi yamu koki asagao no aosa kana
