Dragonfly's Flutter
By Gemma B
Published 21 September 2022
Cool calming water rippled by Lilliputian feet.
Efficient hunting methods swiftly displayed.
Flutters and sputters fill the foggy air as I
Smell the gorgeous gum trees and feel my feet in squelchy mud.
Reflective shimmers fill my eyes
Sun burning freckles on my pale skin
Fleshy and syrupy tree gum fills my nose
Feet like shooting stars plummeting into unknown places
Midday breezes carry a content feeling with each gust and blow
Sunny patterned imprints carried across my back
A frog-filled pond tickled by the dragonfly’s feet
The breeze tickles my arm hairs into a bristling position
Restive wings on an intriguing mission
Eyes like diamonds overwhelm me
What once was a muddy, mossy pond
With flutters and sputters and warm sunny days
Now a far, loved dragonfly beyond
A place of heaven and land of praise
