Dragonfly

hush, do not speak one word or whisper its name for it will flee on the wind as fleeting things do welcome its presence with silent expectation then claim your reward: a glimpse of iridescent shimmer on the wing

Thank you Linda! I appreciate the welcome. So glad I discovered this site due to tracking down a poem by Faye Gibson. I met my partner Wayne at a poetry therapy group here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Can't think of a better way to get to know someone than by writing and sharing poetry! See you online! Mary
