Solitude

This way...
With no one in sight
Autumn is ending

(Haiku by Basho, Translation by me)

孤独

この道や　ゆく人なしに　秋の暮れ　（松尾芭蕉）

Back to the earth

Fallen leaves
Colour is fading
Back to the earth

(Haiku by me)

大地へ帰る

色あせて　大地へ帰る　落葉かな　（拙作）

Autumn feast

This photo shows autumn momiji leaves, which look as if they were enjoying the last festival.

秋の饗宴

秋の色付いたもみじの葉。それはあたかも最後の祭りを楽しむような風情だった。

Lonely girl

Apart from mother tree
With anxiety
Lonely yellow leaf

(Haiku by me)

This picture shows a fallen leaf of a ginkgo tree, which is also called a maidenhair tree. This distinctive leaf is famous for the story that Goethe sent his poem to a woman with two ginkgo leaves.

孤独な少女

こちらは日本ではおなじみの銀杏の葉ですが、他の国では銀杏は「少女の髪の木」と呼ばれることもあるようです。またゲーテが自分の詩にこの葉を二枚添えて女性に送ったことは良く知られています。
