My Haiku Poem This Season
谷深く色づく紅葉遥か見ゆ
Seeing autumnal coloring leaves
far down
at the bottom of the ravine

Impressive Passage
I'm impressed by the following passage from The Coast of Chicago by Stuart Dybek:
"l wanted a ticket out of my life, to be riding a train whose windows slid past a landscape of grain stacks in winter fields. It might be taking me to the beach of Saint-Adresse where the fishing boats have been drawn up onto the sand and a man with a telescope and his daughter by his side looks out to sea, or to Pourville where the wind gusts along the cliff walk and a woman opens an orange parasol while white sails hardly taller than the white-capped waves pitch on the blue-green sea.
Yet, I would always end my walk through the paintings, standing before the diner in Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. Perhaps I needed its darkness to balance the radiance of the other paintings. It was night in Hopper's paintings; the diner illuminated the dark city corner with a stark light it didn't seem capable of throwing on its own. Three customers sat at the counter as if waiting, not for something to begin, but rather to end, and I knew how effortless it would be to open my eyes and find myself waiting there, too."
☆The winter fields and/or the blue-green sea change(s) to the dark city corner. Attractive description!
☆I love the stark light in Hopper's Nighthawks.

"This world is but a canvas to our imagination."
-Henry David Thoreau
☆Good words! I'd like to capture the poetic beauty on the canvas, especially the beauty of the natural world including the changes of the seasons. But along with the changes, the scenery outside the window also changes. So the work is difficult, but interesting and challenging to me. I'd like to continue to broaden my poetic imagination like H.D.Thoreau.

While reading an English dictionary today,
"The late autumn shower scattered the brightly colored leaves, signalling the imminent departure of autumn."
☆ Fleeting, but beautiful! We had a cold day under threatening skies today. I felt the time as cited above was approaching. I'd like to enjoy the passing autumn.

While reading an English book today,
"Policies that many companies adopted during the 90s will permanently impair earning power in the future."
☆ I think there is no denying the fact. Things have changed a lot since then. I have to say so with a slight feeling of loneliness.

Autumn Festival
This morning I came across the shishimai performance (Japanese Lion Dance) of our local autumn festival on my way to the station.
When I was at elementary school, I participated in the festival as a member of the performance group every year.
After going out to the society, I was constantly being sent to a different office because of my work, so I didn't see the scenery through many, many years.
The scenery made me go back to my good old elementary school days for a while.
Oops, it was time to catch the train. I hurried to the station.
