龍淵に潜む箪笥に朱き帯　　　佐藤かほり

ryû fuchi ni hisomu tansu ni akaki obi

            dragon hides

            at the lake bottom…

            a red sash in the drawer

                                                Kaori Sato

from ‘Haidan,’ (‘Haiku Stage’) a monthly haiku magazine, December 2012 Issue, Honami Shoten, Tokyo

Fay’s Note:  ‘ryû fuchi ni hisomu’ (a dragon hides in the bottom of water) is an autumn kigo.   It was believed a dragon goes down to a lake on autumn equinox and climbs up to the sky on spring equinox.
