Thought I, the fallen flowers
Are returning to their branch;
But lo! they were butterflies.

落花枝にかへると見れば胡ちょかな 守武

Naviar Records · haiku #336: Thought I,the fallen flowers/Are returning to their branch;/But lo!they were butterflies


A prolific writer of haikai, renga, and Waka, Arakida Moritake was born in 1473 and studied renga under Iio Sōgi. Late in his life, Arakida became head priest of the Inner Ise Shrine. The haiku I selected this week is considered his most famous.
