The Vanity of the Dragonfly Comments

Excellent portrayal of a Dragonfly. The poet's ability to see through its acts at microscopic level makes it a rare poetic marvelous. Thanks a lot. It reminds me of another outstanding poem on the same subject by Dr Geeta Radhakrishna Menon which I found to be equally captivating.

when our gaze grazes over it and moves on, the dragonfly changes its clothes, sheds its old skin, shriveled like laundry, great imagination.

Beautiful poem on on fascinating dragonfly. Enjoyed fully.

A great poem by Nancy Willard...........................

The gift of the poet is to look at the mundane and make plain the beauty that was always there. :)

Seeing a dragonfly as a bomber without bombs. I saw it well in these words! good poem

the dragonfly changes its clothes, sheds its old skin, shriveled like laundry, and steps forth, polished black, with two circles buttoned like epaulettes taking the last space at the edge of its eyes. Beautiful poem on the varying colour of the dragon fly. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem.
