    hi kouji
    the long braids were onions and garlic - surely you must use them in your food too!

    Like the ambiguity of whether you mean autumn itself is reflected in the eyes or the end of a love affair. Awesome haiku Kouji.

    What a beautiful sentiment in this haiku. That's what I love about these forms they're simple and yet portray such beauty that sometimes cannot be displayed through regular poetry. Thanks for the comment on my blog.

    I have brown eyes - literally! I wish a lover would tell me that, if we happen to be in a place where autumn exists.

    Just read one haiku from Buson:

    In an old pond
    a frog ages
    while leaves fall

    ;-

    (Perhaps this is specially for myself...)

    thanks for the comment, spool artist. :)

    looks like it. :) funny really. we have no autumn here in the philippines, so i wouldn't normally write about fall. but since i joined the autumn haiku 2008 collaborative blog, i find myself trying to imagine autumn, and to experience it vicariously.

    well kouji, as they say... autumn is a state of mind... you don't have to experience fall in order to see the wondrous symphony of the season's wildest times! keep haiku-ing!
