Under the scorching summer heat
there’s a majestic sight to behold
exuding power and poise
from its agile flight

Its shimmering wings
hovers like a helicopter
flies backwards like a hummingbird
dances like a graceful ballerina

One will scurry off
after detecting a slight movement
by its excellent eyesight

Have you catch a dragonfly? My playmates and I tried to be inconspicuous trying to catch them by their long abdomen. There are some you can easily catch but there are elusive. Don’t worry. We don’t harm them. We set them free after catching them.
