I wrote a haiku the other week:
とんぼたち
空でいっぱい
セミがなく
The sky above
is filled with dragonflies;
Cicadas cry
explanation!
In haiku, many words are associated with certain seasons. Dragonflies mean fall, while cicadas represent summer. There is also a play on words with "naku." It has two different kanji (Chinese characters). One means to cry as in human crying, the other is used to represent insect voices (or cries). I purposefully did not use a kanji in my haiku because it has both meanings here. As the sky is filled with dragonflies, the cicadas cry as summer ends.
Nice! And you claim to be not very good at Japanese - I can't even write stuff like that in English.
