Day 11
White rows in green fields Some known and some still unknown We pay our respects; Gratitude overflowing For those both past and present.
Day 12
露の世に 人の心が 繋がれて 嫌味と言えば 皆を苦しめ。

Day 13
Although morning frost Lies thick upon Autumn grass, Like translucent silk, Where falls the sun's golden rays Bright green still comes shining through.

Curtains of white mist Beset my morning route for A number of miles Not until I climb autumn Seared hills do I escape it.

Uncertainty and unrest are not good for a household or domain. We are entering a lean and stormy winter season.

Overnight it seems The lawn has vanished beneath A flood of scarlet. Each step is heralded by The rustle of maple leaves.

Blustery breezes Stampede through the treetops with Rustling abandon. Time to close windows against The chill and make some more tea.
