hi kouji
the long braids were onions and garlic - surely you must use them in your food too!
Very beautiful sentiment.
wow, brown is really the season's most poetic color...
Reflective poetry!:) Beautiful!:)
lovely image
you could leave out "all these" in L2 without any damage
Like the ambiguity of whether you mean autumn itself is reflected in the eyes or the end of a love affair. Awesome haiku Kouji.
Lovely.
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.

Ah, love it. I have brown eyes!
I have brown eyes - literally! I wish a lover would tell me that, if we happen to be in a place where autumn exists.
"brown eyes" or gray hairs? :) nice one kouji!
these last 3 odes to autumn leaves are all poignant and lovely:-)
Just read one haiku from Buson:
In an old pond
a frog ages
while leaves fall
;-
(Perhaps this is specially for myself...)
I love brown eyes ; ) Both of my boys have them! Hope you have a happy Friday tomorrow and an EXCELLENT weekend : )! Where do you live? I live in Pennsylvania.
I like this one,
some leaves do indeed look like big brown eyes
A love Haiku - love it Kouji

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!

indeed. still, it would be interesting to experience it one of these days, i think. :)
