Three haiku for Anisoptera

More fly than dragon,
you, dragonfly, tiny
biplane touching down

• • •

Agile flyer, you,
dragonfly, flitting forward,
then backward with ease

• • •

Dragonfly brings change,
rebirth as tiny biplane,
wingéd happiness

• • •

(Dragonflies belong to the infraorder Anisoptera, from the Greek meaning “unequal wing” because dragonflies’ hindwings are broader than their forewings.)
