dragonfly cannot leave yet

Iridescent wings of rainbow hues Flitter amongst the lily pads Will she light or is this a drive by? Dragonfly sighs upon finding the delicate pinks Their yellow middles calling to her shy side She decides to stay for a few minutes The frogs go silent; no more croaking There is a delicate fragrance in the air Is it cherry blossoms or the lily pads themselves? Dragonfly cannot leave yet. She feels rested in this tranquil place.
