This reminds me of Limoncello a shot glass filled with southern lemons and it\'s just what the doctor ordered any time after dinner. 🤗

Such a potent sensory feel to this poem. As I read I can smell the lemon, taste its tartness and visualize the empty shell. Good things come in small packages, and here something wonderful!

I must be briefer sometimes. Is it the soul of wit - brevity? From \'Hamlet\'. Lots of Shakey\'s quotable quotes in that, but he also said some daft stuff, I think.

A white crow in white snow ❄️ like coal lump eyes would be the only clue. This poem has me thinking on several tangents!

I always believe we each have a story and that we should treat eachother with compassion and empathy and never to judge a book by it\'s cover dear sorenbarret, another breathtaking piece of poetry which makes the reader pause to look through all the imagery. Your first lines to your last just wonderful. 🌹

I shall look into these important variations! Good write SB.
I saw a black cat in a coal cellar at midnight - is that a variation?

Sins of commission, and sins of omission. How much pay is the \'commission\'? Doh! heehee. Not THAT sort of commission, says Fido.
Also - a bit of tongue twister:
\'We have done those things which we ought not to have done; and have left undone those things which we ought to have done\'.
Should we try a bit of prevari-wotsit?!

I\'m enraptured by a dragonfly when I rarely see them, Soren. And certainly not in the variety of colours (Sizes also?) or quantities you do. You have penned a fitting tribute.

My comments on the poem \"Dragonfly” by Soren Barrett. I am reproducing some of my previous comments.
27.3.2023
My comments on the poem “Dragonfly” by Lee Robert Poole
“Even though you probably see the adult more often, dragonflies actually spend most of their lives in the larval stage underwater. The 5-7 years spent underwater gives them more than enough time to accumulate mercury in their bodies, making them great representations of that area.”
https://www.google.mu/search?q=dragonfly+larvae+under+water&source
One striking feature of the dragonfly is that it can hover for quite some time. Some other birds and insects, too, can do so. But, it is more noticeable with dragonflies. They are quite the nearest thing to a helicopter. They can move off very fast, almost in any direction. It is extremely difficult to catch one. Soman Ragavan. //
----------
I added the following to my message :
They are extremely silent. I don\'t know any other flying insect that has two pairs of wings one of top of the other. These two pairs of wings probably explain how they can hover. Hovering is a terrific advantage. It enables them to stay at one spot and wait for some move or event before they do something. Other creatures have to move off and wait at a distance. ..... Soman Ragavan.
===========================
ADDED: The dragonfly can stop immediately in flight, hover immediately and fly off immediately in any direction. This helps in hunting and in survival. The fact that at the larva stage it can stay for FIVE YEARS under water makes it a special case.
Whereas a chopper appears to lumber while hovering and moving off, the dragonfly does it smoothly and instantly.
It can hover even during rains. Its wings and body are fragile. Raindrops fall on its wings while it is hovering but do not destabilize it. It often hovers over rivers, canals and waterways.

https://www.google.mu/search?q=does+the+dragonfly+lay+eggs+under+water+%
Dragonfly larvae require water to survive, so female adults are always searching for water habitats such as ponds, streams and swamps to lay their eggs. The eggs are laid directly into or close to water.
----------
How long do dragonflies live in water?
Most dragonfly species mature into adulthood in one to three years, but some species of dragonflies can live in the water as a nymph (baby dragonfly) for over five years! Dragonfly nymph. 3 Jul 2019

Splendid haiku Soren! Just the other week I was caught in a trance by a dragonfly, the first I’d seen for a couple of years. Perhaps I’ve been too busy with other things. So thanks for this lift!
