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.

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

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
