[First page of the journal, written in calligraphy, but not in code]
This journal has to be good for something, hm? I think it's time I start recording haiku~
Fujiwara no Kaneyoshi
Nightingales can't sing
Hidden away behind bars
Ignorant of spring
Lost among these dreams
Still no messages from you
Have you forgotten?
Fated to wander
Mountain paths prove daunting when
Traveling alone.
Ivy and maple
Cover the outer walls but
It's not what I thought
There are no ascetics here
To carry my messages
Hogyoku
Lost if you know it
Cannot help but walk it
The path of love
The midsummer chick
calls from the nest for new blooms
and gets cicadas. Hogyoku
light of the full moon
gleams across new-fallen snow
on a winter's night Anonymous response
The sun set before
My star had risen; shadows
Can't be missed at night. Anonymous
