[At a Japanese Garden: We turn a corner in a side-path and come upon an outcrop in the side of a grassy knoll. Just as I begin to admire the rock formation and to appreciate how it has been naturally placed, a dragonfly suddenly appears. It is as if it wished to be framed in this natural setting, just for my benefit. Of course, it was likely just catching a few rays of sunshine.]
love this (recently completed a poem on a similar theme for posting in a few days - i blame polona's gorgeous pics for my/our love of dragonflies) :) thank you
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

1090. Catching Rays
An outcrop,
just a rock...suddenly
a dragonfly.
Link with 1089: Dragonfly.
