Dragonfly

By this old pond
Morning glory;
Dragonfly parade

~~~~~~~~~


Lotus flowers
Sun tan moments;
Somnolent hours

~~~~~~~~~


Fat frog sits
Atop lotus leaf;
Morning meditation

~~~~~~~~~


Here in this park
Squirrels dash;
Curious activity

~~~~~~~~~


Here for a stroll
Watch butterflies flirt;
Happy flowers smile

~~~~~~~~~


Bougainvillea shrubs
Flowering in the heat;
Tropical display

~~~~~~~~~


Busy feet trampling 
Bitumen track;
Jogging around

~~~~~~~~~


Windy cascades
Through bamboo pines;
Sifting and singing

~~~~~~~~~


Sleepy moods loiter
Birds murmuring;
Stray monkeys cluster

~~~~~~~~~


Dragonfly song
Unheard melody;
Drowsy September

~~~~~~~~~


Another hazy day
Wind-blown smog;
Smell of ashes

~~~~~~~~~


Wooden bridge
Clear waters below;
Sleepy fish resting

~~~~~~~~~
