Classical Japanese Poetry

Well done. Here's my tips.

135
他の藤波 --> の藤波

136
You missed the meaning of やらじとや, i.e., やらないために.

140
As you might know, あしひきの is the 枕詞 for 山 and doesn't have any meanings. The auther wasn't in a mountain at that time.

142
こずる --> こず (梢)

143
ぬしさだまらね --> ぬしさだまら

ぬしさだまらぬ恋せらる more likely means "I have a feeling of love with someone, who is not a specific person".
あぢきなく means "somehow" here.

145
~な・・・そ is a structure for "prohibition".
声なきかせそ: Don't sing to me.

146
さへ "Even" suggests that the author might not be able to go back to the hometown and meet the people never again.

147
思ふのから --> 思ふのから

148
韓紅 -->

唐紅のふり出でてぞ鳴く expresses the cuckoo sings like dyeing cloth red. It's not about their tongue color.

150
昔をのみぞ鳴く --> をのみぞ鳴く
Again, あしひきの is a 枕詞.
たれかまさる is not 誰が勝る. That's 誰にも負けない.
