Autumn Haiku

Our 74th Poem of the Week is actually three poems - haiku by the 17th century Japanese master Basho (translated, and thus not with the correct syllabic count):



Blowing from the west,
Fallen leaves gather
In the east.

--

Along this road
Goes no-one,
This autumn eve.

--

The wind has brought
Enough fallen leaves
To make a fire.
