DRAGONFLY BUFFOONERY

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

flying over the dew
that droops upon
the moss green leaves
around an impressive spider's
tightly webbed tapestry
on through the swampy grass
by way of a gurgling bog
one witnesses
'Dragonfly Buffoonery'
that is, if one were even
there to see
the hop scotch flying daredevil
antics
of wings that flick as if
matted with fleas
to think a week in the life
is a year well lived
I read that somewhere
you know
of an insect's world
flying or otherwise
much pleasure doth
such afternoon walk give.......

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Was recalling walking by a creek (or as we call a creek here in my neck of the woods a crick) and my eyes stumbled upon a wildly drunk acting dragonfly so I watched its antics for some moments and when I got back to the car I jotted a few words that came to mind down and saved them. I just now took those words out and fleshed out the complete idea I was having that day over my joy at getting to watch such wild innocent worldly wonder.........
