sympetrum

 

tiny dragonflies

glitter on goldenrod shores

of an autumn lake

 

 

flightiness

 

damselfly patches

you can find them flying there

quickly disappear

camouflage

 

damselfly aerials

blend so well with background grass

perfect illusions

exuvia

 

a ghost of the past

memories of younger days

still poised on a twig

 

territory

 

hunting dragonflies

trace the outline of a pond

on clattering wings

 

ocelli

 

I’d like to travel long distance on a dragonfly . . . and fall asleep

while he’s keeping an eye on me

with his ocelli
