My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

November, when the deepening of autumn can be felt, is the perfect season for crafting haiku about autumn leaves and the arrival of winter.

Setting seasonal scenery and movements of the heart to the rhythm of 5-7-5 lets you savor the joy of choosing words and the delight of creation.

This time, we present haiku that feature late-autumn atmospheres and familiar scenes.

We’ve gathered many verses using November season words such as “kogarashi” (winter wind), “hatsu-shimo” (first frost), and “chiru momiji” (falling autumn leaves).

Imagining the depicted scenes or trying your own hand at a verse will naturally spark conversation and bring a richly fulfilling moment.

May you spend a little while feeling autumn’s deepening, together with autumnal scenes woven in words.

[For Seniors] Famous Haiku for November: Introducing Poems Depicting Beautiful Autumn Scenery (11–20)

The paulownia seeds have sounded forth—winter preparations.Fuji-o Shiba

A verse by Shiba Bukio that senses the shift in nature from late autumn to early winter.

“Kiri no mi no nari ide ni keri” depicts the sound of paulownia pods ripening and falling.

Hearing that sound made him realize it was time to prepare for winter.

“Fuyugamae” refers to readying one’s home and garden against the cold.

From the small change in nature—the sound of paulownia pods dropping—Shiba Bukio felt the deepening of the season and the intimate link between life and nature.

On a quiet day in November, it is a gentle, calm poem that quietly accepts winter’s approach.
