Notes About The Poem

 

Dragonfly

Swimming beneath a sunless sky,
Cherished melodies, serenade yours truly

Redolent of freshly baked loaves
Sun flare glistening on cinnamon skin ~

Graceful, striking dragonflies
Perform angelic, graphic aerial pageants
Brilliantly versed, competent displays
Flamboyant minuscule Red Arrows,

Slothful, reposeful disposition
Concealed beneath a thermal burrow

Happiness cannot be purchased ~
Brewing destined to be found 
Such as the lost, buried treasures of Lima

Hello Joanna, There are many dragonflies at my cabin in the woods of the Canadian Shield. Your description of these aerial insects as "Flamboyant miniscule red arrows" is imaginative + precise. Another fine read for me. Cheers Brian
