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.

such admiration for this creature has allowed you to perfectly pen your love of another natural wonder... this is poetry at its finest, Rudi... I could picture this in my mind, the clear flight path of the dragonfly and you right behind it...

Rudi i feel like we were simply standing right next to a dragonfly
Seeing all the beautiful details
Listening to its wings flap around
Flying in air

I love your work
I couldn't say it enough

Please send me more
Love it

Thank you, Nisreen, I'm just busy with sampling another poem of mine with a free music I've found on the internet. It's a bit spooky and I've made some special effect on it. I'll give you a read request when it's ready. :) Again, thanks for reading my poetry. :) Rudi
