Haiku

Riding Through Mountains-
Red, Yellow, Tears Trickling, I
Mourn for her in Fall


Our haiku poem takes place in autumn. There are two kigos in the
poem; the first one is “Fall” and the second one is “Red, Yellow”. In
the haiku, a man is mourning the loss of his lover while riding through
the mountains. He wants to go to a secluded area where he can be alone
and mourn privately. However, once at the mountains, he notices the
beauty of the surrounding nature, and is only further reminded of his
lost lover and the beauty she herself possessed.
