Little Dragonfly
For Ashley Lima's Unsplash Inspiration
So, before I begin the poem, I have to include a note.
The last name of my pseudonym is German for dragonflies. So this literally did not surprise me. I would have been more surprised if they came up with something entirely different.
...
Little dragonflies
Zooming over the pond
Right before my eyes
Landing on a grass frond.
...
Blue, green, ruby red
Zipping gayly about
For a while, I pled
To end up in their route.
...
Finally, one lands
Cautiously watching
It lands on my hand
Though I'm not plotting.
...
Finally, if flies away
Leaving me to dumb to say
What happened to me this day
In my memory, it'll stay.
...
