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.
