保護色に羽を休める赤蜻蛉83 Red dragonfly resting its wings in protective colors [Haiku, Senryu]
再び、山形のネタ。
写真は東沢バラ公園のもの。薔薇の写真を撮ろうとしたら、「撮ってｋれ～！」とばかりに赤トンボが止まった。
実は、横浜では、まだ赤トンボを見ていないので、山形は赤トンボが多くていいなぁと思っていた。
（因みに赤とんぼは通称であり、正式にはアキアカネと呼ぶらしい。）
本当は白や黄色の薔薇に止まってくれた方が、写真映えするのだが、同じ色の方が、外敵から身を守れるからなのだろうか、なんとなく赤い薔薇に多く止まっていた気がする。
冒頭の俳句では、上句を「赤薔薇に」としたかったが、薔薇は夏の季語。
赤蜻蛉は秋の季語のため、季語が二つになってしまうので、やむなく「保護色」を採用したが、俳句の言葉使いらしくないと、まだ気になっている。
Again, a Yamagata story.
The photo is from Higashisawa Rose Park. When I tried to take a picture of the roses, a red dragonfly perched on the rose. a red dragonfly stopped.
Actually, I had not seen any red dragonflies in Yokohama yet, so I thought it would be nice to see many red dragonflies in Yamagata.
(By the way, "red dragonfly" is a common name, and it is officially called "Aki-akane".)
Actually, it would have been more photogenic if they had perched on white or yellow roses, but I think they were more likely to perch on red roses, perhaps because the same color is better protection against foreign enemies.
In the opening haiku, I wanted to use "on red roses," but rose is a summer term.
However, rose is a summer term and red dragonfly is an autumn term, so I had no choice but to use "protective color," but I am still bothered by the fact that it does not seem like a haiku word choice.
