Bush-clover flowers — they sway but do not drop their beads of dew
Bush-clover Flowers - form Summary
Haiku's Compressed Seasonal Image
This brief haiku uses the form's economy to fix a single, seasonal image: bush-clover (an autumn kigo) with dew beads. Its three-line compression isolates the moment, letting the standing flowers' slight sway and the unfallen dew create a quiet tension between motion and pause. The haiku's spare presentation foregrounds sensory detail and stillness, inviting the reader to notice transience without explicit explanation.
