Iridescent Blue

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

Elusive Words

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

Scottish Damselfly

ALONG

loch-studded moorland

bogs and runnels

and o'er the Highland Pass

antennae alert
I'll twist the wind

            to
              feed
                 my
                    Bonny
                         Lass

luna moth

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
mystical

pea green
luna

moth

Damselfly and Her Big Eye

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.

Little Miss Marionette

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

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

The Damselfly



Even then blue roused up
beautiful images and sensations, 
settled so many fragile feelings 
in a small boy’s imagination – 
like music and the damselfly. 
Enchanted, awed, transfixed by turn,
he watched the neon creature
chalk its name in slashing lines
of electrifying blues across
a transparent blackboard of air.

She Might Come By If You Are Silent

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

Spring Garden Magic

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 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 fell for him on vacation.

Damselflies

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 Is Abuzz

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
