Daikōtaigōgū daijin kiyosuke-ason ke uta’awase 21

Round Twenty-One

Left (Win)

小倉山木木のもみぢのくれなゐはみねの嵐のおろすなりけり

ogurayama
kigi no momiji no
kurenai wa
mine no arashi no
orosu narikeri
On gloomy Mount Ogura
The leaves upon the trees,
So scarlet,
By the storm wind from the peak
Are tossed down.

Lord Kiyosuke
41

Right

ふかくあさきもみぢばながるあすか河ふちせは色にあらはれにけり

fukaku asaki
momijiba nagaru
asukagawa
fuchise wa iro ni
arawarenikeri
Across both depths and shallows
Flow the scarlet leaves
On the Asuka river,
Among the rapids and the pools
Have they appeared.

Shun’e

Neither of these is bad. The Right violates the five syllable pattern; the Left has no faults.

SKKS VIII: 789

Composed on the wind bringing fond thoughts of the past, in the autumn after his father, Hidemune, had passed away.

露をだに今は形見の藤ごろもあだにも袖を吹く嵐かな

tsuyu o dani
ima wa katami no
fujigoromo
ada ni mo sode o
fuku arashi kana
Even the dewfall, which
Now is a keepsake upon
My mourning robes is
Transient, so from my sleeves
‘Tis blown by the storming wind!

はなさそふあらしやみねをわたるらんさくらなみよるたにがはのみづ

Fana sasoFu

Enticing the blossom
Is it the storm wind upon the peak
That passes o’er
The cherry waves breaking
In the waters of a valley stream?

SZS V: 373

Composed on the conception of falling leaves.

たつた山ふもとの里はとほけれどあらしのつてにもみぢをぞみる

From this estate in the foothills
Lies far away, yet
The storm wind’s actions mean
I see scarlet leaves!
