Some Thoughts on Dragonflies

The dragonfly
cannot come to rest
on the blades of grass
--Basho


Dragonfly on a rock--
absorbed in
a daydream
--Santoka


The comming of autumn
determined
by a red dragonfly
--Shirao

Dragonflies
quiet their mad darting--
crescent moon
--Kikaku


The dragonfly
has dyed his body
autumn
--Bakusui

Dragonfly caught in
the rain. Come! There are insects
under my awning.
--Myself
