Reflections


In Japan, dragonflies are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness, and they often appear in art and literature, especially haiku. In ancient mythology, Japan was known as Akitsushima, which means ‘Land of the Dragonfly’.

I wrote a haiku.

Captured forever
Dragonfly in amber,
Golden memory.
More dragonfly haiku at Natures Echo Haiku series. If you have an idea for a haiku, write me a comment.
