The Copper Dragonfly
the transparent wings of
the copper dragonfly
yet another mirror
through the sky

“Dancing with a Dragonfly” — Image by kenne
dancing with a dragonfly…
The shimmer of blue changes
As you dragonfly move,
Your cellophane wings
Fragile, yet brings
You to me,
I cannot see the world
As you do, true?
You can see mine
Just fine.
The sunlight
glints as the
Colour changes
To a different hue.
one moment
Green
The next
Blue
Dancing with you
As you float then soar,
is impossible …
As you pitch and roll
Leave me entranced
As you exit…
Without saying so much
As goodbye,
Must mean,
You will,
Be back,
Soon.
Please.

Photo by Donald Kolinski
It has been around freezing the last few morning in Sabino Canyon where I have taken photos of dragonflies in the past, but this guy was photographed near Jamestown, CO by Donald Kolinski. The image appeared in the National Geographic Photo Contest 2012.

Dragon is Draggin’
Dragonflies in tandem
Pausing on an old cattail leaf
She taps the water
Depositing eggs
Continuing tandem flight
Darting through the desert marsh
In their love “mating wheel.”
