Blazing like a torch,
The maple out front begins
To scatter its leaves.
One caught beneath a wiper
Flutters gaily as I drive.

We may view this place
as an important bulwark,
but the citadel
can barely hear the waves from
where it stands high above us.

As I was driving
I saw you through the windows
Laughing with your friends
Where might you have been going?
And from whence had you just come?

A fingernail moon
Supervises our swordplay
Without a comment.
My foe and I start laughing
As we double-kill. Again.

Quiet here today
Most people on holiday
Snow glooms the windows
The temperature drops steadily
World may end before quitting

Its the time of year
To spend with family and friends
around a table
laden with turkey and fixin's.
To all, Happy Thanksgiving!

Early plum blossoms
Mix with fallen autumn leaves
Causing confusion;
All throughout the capital
There is wonder and chaos.

A fragment of news
Sets the mind racing like
A hamster on its wheel.
It is hard to be patient
Waiting for information.

If holiday this
is, then why do I have so
much to do today?
Do I need a vacation
from my personal time off?

27日：
A couple of crows
Argue on the veranda
As loud as can be;
With little understanding
It is just cacophony.

I divert children
While their mother prepares for
Our holiday meal.
Her dishes are delicious
And my pies are a success.

The pile of fabric
to cut is now cut and washed,
But the stack of things
to iron is now taller.
One bucket fills another.

Wind, water, and fire:
The trigrams sun, kan, and li.
Lu's ancient wisdom.
Who is truly worthy of
Bodhidharma's eyelashes?

Making good progress,
but why is this side inches
shorter than this one?
Break out the good seam ripper.
It's too warm in here dammit.

Thin gray light shines through
Through bedroom curtains.
Winter's first snow lies
like a fluffy white blanket.
Crows stand out in stark contrast.
