single blade of grass
damselfly is grasshopper
springs to hawk the beck

Iridescent Blue
Damselfly respite.
Basking feast on bobbed wire,
The sun warms; next, flight.

lithe light lovely words float past
escaping my touch as a butterfly does
one lands in the form of a dragonfly
or are you a damselfly?
I have no words
bamboo windchimes dance a tune
loose components swaying gently in the breeze
damselfly still looking for mate

in june wilderness
flitting across babbling brook ~

loch-studded moorland
bogs and runnels
and o'er the Highland Pass
antennae alert
I'll twist the wind

Bonny
Lass
attracted to light
landing on my porch
delighting faeries
not a damselfly
not a firefly
from the near woods
child of the night
a dainty wisp
just visiting
something lithe
something light

Butterfly? Moth? Faerie? Dragonfly?
Bee? Wasp? Hornet? Damselfly?
Lithe and light, gliding quickly by
in and out of flowers insanely high
Termites? Beetles? Honeybees?
They flit and flutter as they please
One has glided off on a northern breeze.
These flying things bring lots of ease.
which insect has a large eye you see when she flies…
this eye is actually made up of several small eyes…
her compound eyes detect movement much better
than they make out shapes or inclement weather
If you guessed firefly then you have our admiration.
Damselfly is a majestic member of the faerie federation.
Wry puppet princess just cut her strings;
Why comply and then be held captive?
Damselfly on her free wrist whispers
‘Defy and let go of what’s submissive.’
Purge this Little Miss Marionette,
surge solo and secure the spotlight;
Splurge on a diamond encrusted crown,
emerge ready to claim your birthright.
summer dissipates
viridescent willow wisps
frenzied honeybees
azure sky smiles
gnarly grasshopper singing
creeping violets
discerning monarch
damselfly competition
lilac fragrance wafts
ethereal mist
supercilious confidence
ushering autumn
melodic bird song
sizzles saccharine summer
as she floats away
if you are silent
not merely quiet
but if you do not make a sound
she might come by
can I breathe
not loudly
and so we waited.
four afternoons in a row
she arrived on the fifth afternoon
landed on a verdent stalk
she was exquisite with faerie wings
prettiest damselfly I have ever seen
only damsel fly I have ever seen
Butterfly is late to the marigold patch
No one holds grudges, luckily
Gate clicks shut with a click of the latch
Farmer’s wife comes out to make a match
Gathering flowers to make pretty bouquet
Damselfly flies by too fast to catch
Garden’s produces carrots in a clump batch
Fat tomato worms hide themselves
On red ripe tomatoes they will soon attach
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 fell for him on vacation.
Colorful needles
Glide through the sky
Flying critters daedal~
Swarm of Damselflies
With vibrant slender bodies
And intricately designed wings
They jubilantly dance in the sky
True glee to the viewers, they bring
Merrily drench in the rain showers
Rhythmically jump around the flowers
Angels from the world old~ they are
quite a sight to behold
Garden holds her breath as dragonfly magically appears. The flowers begin tittering, hoping he is coming to visit them. Her counterpart damselfly lands on a tea rose, who is feeling smug all of two seconds before they both flit off again.
her cellophane wings
the whole garden is abuzz
dragonfly visit
Night inherits day's endless chitchat,
shares it with the starlit canopy
holding imagination thereat.
She is on the wrong side of normal,
as if she's a mental amputee
or lives on a lonely sea’s atoll.
She fancies she is a butterfly
or a flower-chasing bumblebee,
but I reckon she's a damselfly.
Let her frolic in her fantasy,
ever in that starlit apogee~
forever night's lovely adoptee!
