I Talk To Dragonfly Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

I Talk To Dragonfly

Rating: 5.0


I talk to dragonfly
Why he seems so sad
Otherwise after receiving
A candy from the smiling angel

I talk to firefly
Why she seems so despair
Otherwise after giving
A silver ring to the sparkling demon

I talk to butterfly
Why he seems so anguish
Otherwise after singing
An Italian Aria to the silent saint

(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Mr. Robert Pinsky)

Use of these insects to express yourself is adorable.

These flying insects are all part of nature's plan and purpose and they should be respected and I think they are great metaphors to express how you feel. This poem is unique and butterflies are my favorite as they are so spiritual. 10 love Karin
