Dragon~FLY
buzzes by
Like a bee but
bigger with
dual rows
of wings
No sugar for this fly
that isn’t a fly
Colorful predator dragon~FLY
Dragonfly doesn't suck nectar or
collect pollen
he hunts, leaving the sugar
to sweet lovers, the
ants, bees, and butterflies

A geographical map could take you there. To the places I've been, to the sights I've seen, to the landscapes I've climbed. But no compass could point you in the direction of my memories. To the experiences I've lived, to the happiness I've felt, to the wonder I've held so close to my heart.

amazing piece
Beautiful!! I don't think a lot of people realize that dragonflies are a predatory species... very well written Andrea! 😊
This flows so beautifully. Well done!
Congratulations on the Honorable Mention win for your poem. Not sure how I missed this one, but it’s amazing. I love dragonflies.
Lovely weaving of words, Andrea! Nicely done!
Delightful!
I'll take you to Gardens by the Bay if you come to Singapore. Lots of these here!
I love dragonflies. There is something otherworldly about them.
Nice one! I saw a dragonfly today in Walmart's parking lot and watched it as long as I could. They are expert flyers...I'm jealous of those wings, lol. Vivid poem, Andrea. Very well done!
This is grand! Dragonflies fascinate me.
Fascinating creatures and mysteriously crafty in their hunting pursuits. Nicely portrayed Andrea.
Good work. I would use this in a preschool or kindergarten as an introduction to a science lesson on flying insects.
Dragonfly: I am the one who hunts.
Oh wow, I love what you did for this challenge! It's sooo awesomeeee!
Gorgeous challenge contribution here, Andrea!
A nice entry for Poppy's prompt. well done
A brilliantly colored predator! Maybe the bees appreciate the leftovers!
