Valentines Day Poem: Dragonfly
Darting in and out of common weeds
Came some beautiful nymph like
Dragonfly, floating on air, caught
By peripheral chance, an image
Only the mind could illustrate,
Dark was the world before she
Eased the eyes back open,
Transfiguring two souls to one.
Delicate Tonbo, those iridescent wings
Carry all the earth it seems.

Post a CommentPoking around looking at some of your earlier stuff, Jeff. This is beautiful.
This is so tender. Strong and fragile at the same time. Beautiful imagery.
This is such a tender poem...your wife is lucky to have someone like you and I am sure that you, too, are fortunate to have someone like her -- especially if she inspired such a beautiful piece of word art.
