a lovely dragonfly hovers over a fragrant lotus, that grows in the floodplains. The dragonfly sniffs the spice that emanates from the lotus, darts here and there in search of nectar. A frog attacks, the dragonfly escapes.

A realistic visualisation penning with the amalgamation of web chain and ecological balance.

Such a lovely, well described poem dear Victor. The reader can so easily visualise the hovering dragonfly and its narrowly evaded demise. Love the creativity here and the title too. So happy that the little dragonfly escaped! A delightful spring read from your immensely talented pen. Blessings dear Victor for a peaceful Sunday :)

I am happy that the dragonfly escaped :) We had a dragonfly in our house yesterday, way up on the vaulted ceiling. I thought it may be a scorpion because they look similar from a distance like that. We just had construction done and thought the workers accidently brought it in on their tools. Happily my husband's eyes are better than mine, he could see its wings. He carefully shood it from the ceiling with a broom and safely out the door. Dragonflies are so sweet, and so is your poem. Loved it!

Your world is populated with the beauty and small wonders of nature. The trio, the dragonfly, the lotus, and the frog form a lovely nexus. Beautiful Etheree, dear Victor!

whew, close call for the dragonfly. This was a delightful Etheree--well written with effective imagery. I liked 'the dragonfly sniffs the spice." Enjoy your evening, Sara
