Dragonfly, passing by Enjoying life gliding through the sky Chasing flies at midday Hovering over water ’til he sees his prey ..........then he moves on Dragonfly, elegant and bold Unlike some other insects his wings don’t fold Red and blue, beauty to behold Perched on a petal of a marigold ..........then he moves on Dragonfly, quiet and still Resting on a leaf of a daffodil He takes time to sit and think He flies onto a birdbath to have a drink ..........then he moves on Dragonfly, pretty and bright Sunshine on his wings, such a beautiful sight Dragonfly, pure delight Visiting my garden ’til the fading twilight ..........then he moves on
