SKKS I: 91

When he presented a hundred-poem sequence.

しらくもの春はかさねてたつた山をぐらのみねに花にほふらし

shira kumo no
haru wa kasanete
tatsuta yama
ogura no mine ni
hana niourashi
The white clouds of Spring
Have covered o’er
Mount Tatsuta –
And on the peak of Ogura
The blossom is in full flower, it seems.

KKS X: 439

Composed at a Suzakuin maidenflower contest, with one of the syllables of wominaFesi at the beginning of each line:

ぐら山ねたちならしくしかのにけむ秋をる人ぞなき

wogura yama
mine tatinarasi
naku sika no
Fenikemu aki wo
siru Fito zo naki
On Mount Ogura’s
Peak, he is wont to stand:
The belling stag
Has passed many an autumn;
The number? No one can tell.
