Sympetrum Striolatum   (Dragonfly)

Poised just above
sweet blue petals
shimmering body
orange in the sunlight

fluttering slightly
in the gentle breeze
narrow veined wings
transparent to the eye

this dragonfly
warming in the sun
so spectacular
intricate patterns seen

delicate insect
beauty on the wing
with large compound eyes
aware of everything

life in the air
seldom seen up close
this creature of style
has its place in nature...
