Dragonfly

on reconnaissance missions
efficient feisty warrior
in stealth mode
hovers steady
deliberate
she glides
intent

Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/24/2020 5:38:00 AM The first line grabbed me and made me smile and I smiled all the way through until I realized I have seen no dragonflies this year. Perhaps they come in June? July? Now I am questioning my garden, wanting them now. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 5/25/2020 4:25:00 AM Absolutely ~ I particularly love damselflies.

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/15/2020 1:44:00 PM You've captured the one insect that's always frightened me... Soup mail, please. :) Gershon Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 5/24/2020 10:46:00 AM You would have freaked out the day we drove through a bog, I could not figure out what the cloud was and the driver refused to roll up the windows. It was from the famous scene from Shakespeare with the witches... It took me forever to figure out they were actually dragonflies ~ talk about a prehistoric version of Twilight Zone.

Sam Kauffman Date: 5/14/2020 11:55:00 PM I like this, Line - the dragonfly as a warrior on reconnaissance. So innovative. I do love dragonflies. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 5/15/2020 12:19:00 AM Thanks, Sam. They truly are drone-like. It's unbelievable how many varieties there are.
