Dragonfly, Dragonfly Poem by Rani Turton
Dragonfly, Dragonfly
Dragonfly, dragonfly,
Please don't pass me by
Wait with me a little while
Whilst I look, wonder and smile
You, my poetic inspiration
Maybe even for Da Vinci's invention
Did you teach the planes to fly?
You lovely, lovely dragonfly.
I can see you poised and still
On the leaf, and thus until
Blazes the kind summer sun
Until coldest winter has begun.
Branch, pond, flower and breeze,
Wait a while with me now please;
We shared the silence, but now
You've flown onto another bough.

I like this so much. I am a great fan of dragonflies and this does them much justice. That question; 'did you teach the planes to fly', it's so charming. thanks for this
Superb Write Ma'am... I got a lovely trip down my memory lane. I had a lot of these hovering, compound eyed playmates during my childhood. There were the usual helicopter resembling ones and also another type which resembles a one inch long green needle. I am fortunate then and now, for they come to me...i have felt their sticky feet..even taken pictures of them in close proximity.
This is enchanting Rani with impeccable rhyme and I floated down the page as I read it. I agree with Indira and it would be excellent in a children's text book. 10
