I think they are so beautiful and less commonly seen than butterflies and that's why I chose it as my avatar. I'm flying high with my poetry and content in my life and that is where I intend to stay:-) hugs jan xx

You are very good at these short Haiku my friend! I really enjoyed reading this tremendous and enlightening poem this afternoon! I actually had a good day today so far...no pain in my back! I'm improving gracefully, and I am slowly getting back to work! Of course not today, today is veterans day observed! I love dragonflies, they are very cool animals! Thank you for your concern about my improvement! I am doing better :) (As Emma would do)! We both enjoyed your poem today, Great Work!!

Jan Allison
