Dragonfly Takes Off

Published: Nov. 19, 2020, 1:31 a.m.

I am learning to create vivid images with #haiku. The sensory experience of reading haiku by Basho and Issa have had a great impact on my motivation to write haiku and on what type of haiku I want to write. In this episode, I read a haiku about a dragonfly, seemingly still on a leaf for sometime on a cold morning, taking off.

dragonfly takes off
its wing slaps a dew drop
on the leaf
