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

    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!

    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.
