Dragonfly

The poem is about a very beautiful insect and his behaviour.

How beautiful she writes and quick

her glassy flight in colour

the delicate damsel on the water

 

in blue and green she glides

with black and yellow stripes

out of the corner of my eyes

trough a cloud

side by side

of buzzing mosquitoes

 

with a criss-cross back and forth

she underlines their ballet

but just a moment

in the air she stays

a tinted display

a moment of gravity away

 

next she whirls no less

on a dance

in the arms of the wind again.

You gave a nicely written and descriptive piece of the Dragonfly. Have you ever had one land on you? I have a pool and the dragon flies are always around hovering by the pool. Every now an then one will land on me if I am really still. These are amazing to watch and they also seems somewhat prehistoric. Well done Rudi.

Well, I think it is simply beautiful; the description is wonderful and it flowed so nicely. My son & I love the dragonflys; the way they do those amazing acrobatics. They use to drop into our pool while we played and it was amazing. I truly enjoy the writing. The imagery was wonderful.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you Dale, glad you liked it. Indeed, the dragonfly is a wonderful creature. :)
