One day, October

1, the hokku

Ripe orange descending
And then the sharp scythe new moon
With her consort, Venus

 

2, the long version

Orange-fruit globe ascending
Silvery lakes between fog-wisped forests
Many miles intervening

Same orange glop descending
And then the sharp scythe new moon
With her consort, Venus
