DRAGON FLY:

I was sitting in my sunroom 
Glancing at the sky 
When I noticed on my window screen 
There was a big old dragonfly
 
I opened up my window 
So that I could set him free 
But he just stayed there humming 
As if he'd say to me
 
I see you Mr. Human 
You're thoughtful and so kind 
But I think I'll watch the sunset 
That is, of course if you don't mind
 
So I fetched a spoon of water 
And I got a crumb of bread 
And I put it on my window sill 
Before I went to bed 
 
When I woke up in the morning 
The dragonfly was free
And beside the spoon there was a note 
It said, thank you, to me.

Awww, just love this one Charlie. This is the sort of thing I would do to help. What also appeals to me in your poem is that this could be told to young children as encouragement to help out living things in nature and the thank you note as acknowlegement for helping and doing a good thing. A FAV for me straight away. Hugs Emilia : )
