In 966 she took part in a poetry contest held at the garden of the court.

{{Verse translation|lang=ja-Latn|{{pad|1em}}Wasuraruru

Mi woba omowazu

Chikahite-shi

Hito no inochi no

Oshiku mo aru kana.


|attr2=Translated by William N. Porter, 1909|

My broken heart I don't lament,

To destiny I bow;

But thou hast broken solemn oaths,—

I pray the Gods may now

Absolve thee from thy vow.}}

The Lady Ukon is supposed to have been deserted by her husband, and in this poem she regrets, not so much her own sorrow, as the fact that he has broken his sworn oath, and is therefore in danger of divine vengeance.
