butterfly, drink, home, insect, nature, old, tree, water,
wings of gossamer
gently pulsating the air
butterflies in flight
tail of dragonfly
skimming the water's surface
while taking a drink
bark of an old tree
weather-beaten and furrowed
a home for insects

Categories:
desire, destiny, dream, life, loneliness, longing, love,
The broken wings of
an emperor dragonfly.
Surprise feast for ants.
Fallen from his dreams
reached realities,
now working harder.
with shattered love life,
she took human services,
many lives salvaged.

Advanced flying skills
Aerobatics to impress
No others compare
Greedy and ruthless
No mosquito on menu
He turns cannibal
His species succeeds
Three hundred mega-years on
And still going strong
