I sense a theme of rebirth here because of the lotus flower. Whether I'm right or wrong I love the imagery here Jan. Congratulations on your win in Brian's competition. Cheers - Gary

I believe a dragonfly smiled, viewing the manner of its flight, whilst swatting at mosquitos. Methinks 'twas relief that I knew the difference. Nicely done, Jan, and my compliments for your win in Brain's contest, Aloha!

A most vivid picture, Jan! You certainly give dragonflies a lot of importance, so much so they always hover over each of your poems (blooming flowers)! :) Hugs // paul
