Dragonfly

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 : )
