Fluttering Dragonflies & Glittering Butterflies Poem by Harindhar Reddy

Fluttering Dragonflies & Glittering Butterflies

Rating: 4.5


Holy time ho! At
The dawn oh! In silvers and
Golds, the street lights glow;
Millions of blades of grass, each
Holding a tiny
Lantern of dew while flowers
Transfix their zillion
Lovers: flutter dragonflies
And glitter butterflies, oh!
