Default [IBC] Translation help

Hi everyone i recently ordered a small mame pot from
tokoname. Which has 4 sides with japanese symbols on
each side. I contacted the person i bought it from
for a translation this is what he found. But he
still thinks something has been lost in the
translation. Have any of you ever heard this poem?
Or do any of you know which words are missing?


They are 4 Haikus, Haikus are Japanese poems with 3
lines consisting of 5,7,5 syllables.

The first red leaves in front of the mountain makes
scenery.

Welcome rain drop to the flower of Aronia.

Needles of pine tree sting the sky to change the
color.

I enter to wicket door turn aside from wet willow by
rain.

I can take some pics this weekend if any of you think
you could translate it. Its apparently in a form of
japanese no longer spoken.


Thanks
Ben
