I find Japanese Poetry, and much of it just found in Chado is beautifully written..I just thought I'd share some of the Kigo for November...

What joy! The first day of winter and the sound of a kettle singing is heard froma window.

This is my favorite....
Kirigirisu / nakuya shimo-yo no / sa-mushiro ni / koromo kata-shiki / hitori kamo nen
A cricket is chirping and there is a frost tonight; on the straw mat with only one garment for warmth am I supposed to sleep alone?
