Dragonfly
Impressions of a Beautiful Creature
I do get inspiration from unexpected sources and this is one of those. This just came into my mind, Dragonfly, a poem, a Butterfly Cinquain, though I don’t think there is a Dragonfly Cinquain.
Dragonflies to the order Odonata, infraorder Anisoptera (from Greek ἄνισος anisos, "unequal" and πτερόν pteron, "wing", because the hindwing is broader than the forewing). Which is something that I was unaware of.
I have chosen the song by the Strawbs to accompany this which is the title track to their album.
