Brief Truce

And this yesterday, from when they paused in all their mock battling.

木の葉ふりやまずいそぐなよいそぐなよ　　　加藤楸邨

konoha furiyamazu isogunayo isogunayo

            leaves not stop falling

            don’t rush

            don’t rush

                                                Shuson Kato

from ‘Haiku,’ a monthly haiku magazine, August 2014 Issue, 

Kadokawa Gakugei Shuppan, Tokyo

Fay’s Note:  Shuson Kato (1905-1993)

I just copied this perfect autumn haiku with the citation, the kanji and the romaji from Fay's Today's Haiku web page.  This is a terrific blog, only takes a minute to read and you can think about it all day.

It has a good message for me because I got out of the chair too fast this afternoon and fell and twisted my ankle some. So remember not to rush; there's no point in it. Even the bucks shown above took a break from their wrestling.

I did start my Buson 100 today; more about that tomorrow.
