between dusty cars
an orange butterfly flits
the traffic rumbles

losing time in a standstill
dreaming of wings shifting fate

In this Carpe Diem Tan Renga episode the featured haiku is a contemporary one written by Kim Russell of Writing in North Norfolk (see link above). I was thrilled just a couple of days ago—when sitting on a four-lane highway in a traffic jam a Monarch butterfly brushed against my window. I immediately thought of Kim’s haiku.
summer spring is here
torrential rains of August
raised green pastures—
paradise for grazing ravens and
butterflies who visit my dreams
