Dragonfly

 

Dragonfly

 

Tiny things,

Insect Kings!

Fill the sky with natures' hue.

Dainty hawker;

Breeds in water.

Wings you can see through.

 

Darts and skims

On minuscule limbs;

Hover in mid-air.

Excellent flier -

Like a spitfire!

Then quickly elsewhere!

They feed on gnats

Thank goodness for that!

They even mate in the air

Compound eyes

Beauty in our skies

They are just everywhere!

 

Build a pond

They won't abscond!

Only to migrate.

Watch multi colours

All through summer;

Nothing else equates.
