"The autumn wind..."

This is Phragmites, not Pampas grass, but it is the closest looking thing I could find around here for this evocative haiku by Kigin, translated by Stephen Addiss, Fumiko and Akira Yamamoto.

You've captured the sense of wind in the seed heads so well.

Beautiful image. I think if I wrote that Haiku I would have reversed it.
