Haiku 8: ... all haiku.

Here is today's haiku:

秋風や眼中のもの皆俳句

And in romaji:

aki kaze ya ganchū no mono mina haiku

And English: "Autumn wind: the things on my mind, all haiku."

This is a haiku by Takahama Kyoshi. Today the weather almost felt like fall, so I wanted to choose a fall poem. It was a little hard to translate because there's not really a verb here: ganchū no mono is a noun phrase, and mina haiku just has an implied verb. I did finally come up with an English version that is all nouns. And I do sometimes get in that frame of mind when I'm outdoors, and everything does seem like haiku, just unwritten.
