The Flight of the Dragonflies

The Flight of the Dragonflies

By Valerie J Laidlaw

Dragonflies fill an August evening sky.
Little, ebony helicoptors, Randomly hovering above.
Circling continuously,
Reflecting occasonal glimmers of sunrays,
Into iridescent gleaming colors of yellow, blue, and green.
Three-dimensional, swirling, ascending, and dipping,
Continuously maneuvering,
Overhead.
