Haiku # 11: Dying his body

I was hoping to find one of the Autumn Meadowhawks to illustrate this haiku, and on a sunny day a few days ago, there were about a dozen still flying around. The haiku comes from the book "Haiku. An Anthology of Japanese Poems", by Stephen Addiss and Fumiko and Akira Yamamoto.

Dying his body

Autumn -

The dragonfly.

Excellent capture of the dragonfly seeking warmth from the reflecting sand. Looks much like our Sympetrum species. V
