I read through the poems after watching the series and my favorite poem is #5 from Sarumaru:

Okuyama ni
Momiji fumiwake
Naku shika no
Koe kiku toki zo
Aki wa kanashiki

In the mountain depths,
Treading through the crimson leaves,
The wandering stag calls.
When I hear the lonely cry,
Sad--how sad!--the autumn is.

"Color of the flower
Has already faded away,
While in idle thoughts
My life passes vainly by,
As I watch the long rains fall."

("Hana no iro wa utsuri ni kerina itazurani wagami yo ni furu nagameseshima ni") - Ono no komachi.

Akenureba
Kururu mono to wa
Shiri nagara
Nao urameshiki
Asaborake kana.

ALTHOUGH I know the gentle night
Will surely follow morn,
Yet, when I'm wakened by the sun,
Turn over, stretch and yawn—
How I detest the dawn!

Personally I really like 15, Emperor Koko:

It is for your sake
That I walk the fields in spring,
Gathering green herbs,

While my garment's hanging sleeves
Are speckled with falling snow.

I don't really know why I just quite like it
