JAPANESE POEMS: The flower necklaces, for a traveler

THE WANDERER

You would at home

love in the arms

would rest, poor traveler.

Here, along the way, dissolves

on a bed of grass.

(Shotoku Taishi)

FALL FLOWERS

In the glasses of sake

plum petals float.

After drinking

with his best friend

fall well flowers …

(Otomo No Sakanoue)

A NECKLACE FOR YOU

White dew drops

plumes on cane

my garden.

I could pierce them intact.

A necklace for you.

(Otomo No Yakamochi)
