枝先に 半ば実となる 百日紅 揺らして去れる 風の暑きや


令和六年九月八日


昨日我が家の周り歩く

この夏の暑きは格別なり

路の端に咲く百日紅の白き花は既に半ば実となりたり

なれど花を揺らし行く風は長月に入れどもいまだ暑し


I walked around my home yesterday.

The hotness of this summer is exceptional.

The crape myrtles blooming by the side of the road are already about half-full of nuts.

However, the wind rustling the flowers is still hot even though it is September.
