It was hot today。I was wearing only a T-shirt during the day.、When I go for a walk on my bike in the evening、It's definitely different from the intense heat of a few weeks ago.。At the Manjusha flower in a nearby park、The setting sun was shining。while taking a photo、The sound of the wind passing over it、Really refreshing。I couldn't help but feel the song ``Autumn Comes...'' (It's also very easy to see)。

There was a monthly haiku meeting yesterday.。With the naive idea of ​​a haiku gathering for fun、It is something that is forced to be prepared the day before the haiku meeting.、My family reads it as "Fabricated Haiku Society" (I feel sorry for the other members)。Yesterday, October 1st, was the “Full Moon of Mid-Autumn”.、The title of the haiku is "Mei (full moon)"。

句会での最高点は、Mr. S's motto: ``Green oranges lined up with purchasing department stationery''。ほぼ満票だった。Of course I gave it the highest score.。Because I am aware that I am quite perverse.、I have almost no desire to be chosen (though I do want them to understand the content).。but、Recently, the members have gotten used to it.、私のひねくれを、I'm actually worried that he doesn't seem to feel that way anymore.。

The title of my poem is ``Sucking the full moon and the eyes of the sea bream.''。I don't think it makes sense、For some reason it was surprisingly popular。Last month、A sharp depiction of the landscape of political apathy in contemporary Japan.、He submitted a confident work titled ``They are smiling in the autumn heat''.、０点だった。

It's hot every day。There are some points in western Japan today where the temperature exceeds 38 degrees.、Temperatures of over 35° were recorded in the Kanto region.。September starts tomorrow、In recent years, this heat at this time of year is、I feel like it's not so rare anymore。Still、About a week ago、I started hearing the crickets.。It's autumn、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。

The trees and grass in the garden are parched and dry.。They say it's been a long time since there's been a thunderstorm since the afternoon.、I looked at the sky in anticipation, but all I saw was the atmosphere (after dark、 10It rained for about a minute)。Still, a cool breeze was blowing、at nightfall、I took a short walk around the neighborhood by bicycle.。

Withered leaves are already falling and piling up on the streets of the park.。Maybe it's because of the sunshine、It looks like it's already autumn in my eyes。Suddenly、I thought about the difference between "fallen leaves" and "dead leaves"。

Some leaves wither while still attached to the branches.。Diseased leaves (Wakuraba)、Kuchiba corresponds to this.。On the contrary、Being beaten by the wind and rain, etc.、Some leaves remain green and fall、in deciduous trees、Plants shed their leaves as part of their own physiology.。In haiku、Fallen leaves and dead leaves both seem to be seasonal words for winter.、Fallen leaves seem to be used more often.。If the persimmon leaves fall, it's called "fallen persimmon leaves"、If the leaves of the shiitake fall, it is called "fallen shiiba".。I don't call it persimmon dead leaves or shiiba dead leaves.。In the latter、It's strange because it feels like the tree itself is sick.。

すっかりうなだれて、死にかけた植物だ…と思うのは早計。とても健康的に、夕方５時半、もう眠っているのです。可愛いですね。

名前はオジギソウ。朝は早くから、まずシャキンと腰を伸ばす（今はガックリと腰から折れていますが）。それから手のひらを太陽に向け、手の指を一本ずつ開くように、葉の、ギザギザの指のような切れ込みを、いっぱいに開くんです。その手のひらを指ですーっと触ると、くすぐったそうに葉をシュルシュルシュルと閉じる。外出から帰ったとき、玄関前にポカーンと葉を開いているのを見ると、ちょっといたずらしたくなる。すーっと触ると、シュルシュルシュルと閉じるのがとても可愛い。最近とっておきの、私の「癒し」（秘密）。

シュルシュル…の反応が早いほど健康、と自分勝手に考えている。実家には高さ3mほどの合歓の木（ネムノキ）がある。ネムノキもオジギソウと似た反応をすることで知られているが、反応はどうだったか覚えていない。葉っぱの感じもよく似ている。

アトリエの窓辺にも、たくさんの小さな植物たちが生きている。一昨日はサボテンの大きな白い花も咲いた。別のサボテンの小さな花も咲きかけているし、ふちょっちょの木の、大きい真っ赤な花も咲いている。癒してくれるものはたくさんあるのに、なぜか癒されない気持ちも、毎日膨らんでくるのはどうしてなんだろう。
