Dragonfly Dance

Iridescent gossamer Dragonfly
Sparkles vividly in a haze of sunlight
Reflecting lucent pools and streams
Dining on frog spider and termite

Colorful transformations glittering
Decisively emerging in lakes or marshes
Zealously protecting her territory
Equilibrium balancing harshness

smile -- first i wish to 'thank you,' for blessing my humble self with your kind com my dear and second i truly love the creative nature of this wonderful verse although, i did not know that butterflies could be so vigilant perhaps while in protecting their territories; and as a matter of possibly my own naïve awareness I did not know that their loveliness was territorial at all but i can see that maybe they are, my dear and -- cont:)
