Premium Member Damselfly and Her Big Eye

Damselfly is a majestic member of the faerie federation. ...

Premium Member Damselfly Meets Dragonfly
Damselfly was in demand, she dated all the time. She dated squirrels, blue jays, caterpillars, and a slug with grime. She needs to date an octopus, her relative said, that might last. He would be in the ocean, and their courtship would be a blast. Along came a dragonfly who heard the conversation. He began to court the damselfly who...

Premium Member Cinderella Damselfly
Cinderella Damselfly was inspired as she clung to the Nebraska wheat her sparkly filigree wings were dazzled with Midwestern dew. she clung to the stalk in a desperate lonely ignored women’s way. her empathy felt that something marvelous would arrive with the sun. her translucent wings would soon be dried and she could glide away. where to go? Who needed...

Premium Member Dainty Damselfly

Her swift and wondrous gait enthralls upon the light of lightest evening-- bedecked in turquoise- gold finery sewn by earth’s intricate handiwork... a mature nymph hovers along the pond to relish delicacy of ornate leaves: How a bodice quite lanky, svelte flits by, an aura of ...
