Dragonfly Teases
"Dragonfly Teases"
He sweetens
his days
and nights
Poe like
holding fishnets
clicks bait
and sweats
absent
casting
mystery
reels
he spins
on the
mouse wheel
eternal
harsh
addiction
he’s hooked
on numbers
in the trapping
is trapped
in the books
he is cooking
Some kind
of acknowledgement -
Flatters buy
gossamer wings
a small fish
in a big pond
crowded consomme
Catfish and Golden Koi
fanned by hot breezes
the ripple effect
bubbles blown
beating hearts
and banging fists
on chests
like rolling
depth charge
Love
bombs
Dragonfly teases
Troll smiles
“Every Little Breeze Seems to Whisper Louise’s”
technique
Noir
intrigues
Her

Defn. Coy (Adjective).
Dragonfly. Symbolism.
Dragonflies once served as a sign for fishermen. Wherever it hovered, there were plenty of fish to be caught, or if it hovered over the fisherman it was thought to bring good luck.
Historically, dragonfly symbolism was used in love spells and it was thought that dragonflies were lucky. Today, it is more commonly used to help one let go of the past, assist in transforming one’s life and understanding dreams.
