A breeze arouses the poet,
8.15, Aug.6
Down by my paulownia.
'The poet smiling,
Down by your paulownia.
Let's not take our fans.'
'Poet's smiling sense of fall,
Pure comic relief
From summer's beguiling thrall.'
'Poet's autumn call,
Far before the fall of leaf:
That is my belief.'
'Down by your paulownia,
The poet smiling.
I'll be bringing my fan.'

I would like to translate this poem
Complex and intricate with history, meaning and imagery. Paulownia tomentosa - Dragon Tree, another Asian symbol. Great work to adhere to the Haiku format in a sustained write.
