Dragonflies' Dance

Libellentanz / Dragonflies' Dance / Baile de libélulas  Im Tanz überm See

Im Tanz überm See
Wie kleine Fabelwesen
Libellen im Licht


Dance over the lake
Like small legendary creatures
Dragonflies in the sun


Baile sobre el lago
Mítica criaturas pequeñas
Libélulas en la luz

Love it a lot. Pls continue writing in many languages. Best poem I have just read happily. I know it has been a year I haven't log on this web, but I'm working on a poetry book at the moment. Thank you for commenting on my poem. All the best.

I love all the colors of the dragonflies. They let out tons of them in the summer to eat our mosquitoes and the larvae. love phyl

Of course, I feel that this is about one's imaginary flight over the lake like the dragonflies..Sara

Gert, I'm back here re-reading your wonderful ways of haiku.. A very fun image..i like watching them dance away. I'm glad you stoped by my work.. WOW! you should have seen how happy I was reciveing your comment. Did you know through the months I have missed you... I have had a terrible year.. And my restaurant is taking up to much of my day... I always keep my favorite poets in mind. Around the holidays. Today I' actually took the day off from my Stinky restaurant... Have a nice one..looking forward to ringing in the new year here on the soup... God Bless,..p.d.

thank you p.d. for your kind comment! I also missed you and our friends! But I also had many problems and only posted some poems on facebook. Sorry to hear that you had a terrible year and hope that the new one will be a good one for you! Yes I can imagine that your restaurant consumes much time. God Bless you too...Gert:)

Dragonflies truly are unique in appearance, Gert, and I like the way you describe them as "legendary creatures" dancing above a lake. They're one of the few insects that don't frighten me. Beautiful work, my friend. Let me know how things go on Aug. 15. I just got a part in a play and I'm thrilled. Love, Carolyn
