I find the poems descriptive. The writers themselves write in a way to provoke the readers to be in his shoes. The 637th poem from Book 13. Love from The Kokinshu, written anonymously, is about parting. (Norton B, 1116) What I like about this poem is that one can imagine that when he and his lover wakes up in the morning, they collective their separate clothing and walk away separately. Separation is part of life.
