I didn't do a #kigohaikuprompt yesterday. I knew I was missing something!

Today's late kigo will be dragonfly (蜻蛉, tonbo), and please accept my apologies!

Here are a couple of classic examples:

Dragonfly on a rock
absorbed in
a daydream.
- Kobayashi Issa

A dragonfly!
Its wings, in the bright sun,
Are purest gold.
- Masaoka Shiki

And a more contemporary example:

Not a sign
of the dragonfly—
this path by the swamp.
- Anita Virgil
