dragonfly eyes by Margaret Simon, all rights reserved
Rest your agile flight
on a sunbeam, look aboutwith dragonfly eyes.
While I was attempting to get a photo of bees that are extremely active in a flowering tree, this dragonfly lit upon an African iris. I had the telephoto lens on. I was so excited that I captured such an amazing close-up. So clear I could see the eyes of the dragonfly.
Order on Amazon.

Spectacular. My first reaction was “Good morning dragonfly.”
Gorgeous photo & poem, Margaret!
Beautiful poem and photo!
Wonderful, Margaret. You make me wish for a good camera! And your poem is a good one for all of us to note. Love that “agile flight”.
When I am stuck for words I google the topic. It helps!
What a serendipitous moment! You captured it visually and with words. Wonderful!
Margaret, I’ve read all of your posts this month and have used some as poetry prompts—thank you! As a former teacher and now curriculum developer, I’ve also enjoyed seeing what you’re up to with your students. 🙂 —Kate Coombs
Kate, thank you so much. It’s nice to know that my work is inspiring others. In fact, that is my ultimate goal.
What a fabulous photo, and poem!
