Flame Skimmer Dragonfly At Sweetwater Wetlands — Image by kenne

A flame skimmer rests,
perched on a dead branch,
its body a streak of fire
against the soft green reeds
of Sweetwater Wetlands.

The pond lies quiet,
ripples folding into reeds,
while wings of copper glass
catch the sun’s edge—
a sudden brilliance,
then stillness again,
as if the dragonfly
were holding the day
in its fragile grip.
