Mam's Best Broach
25 February, 2007
Author: Capricorn
Dragonfly – your topaz dazzles
like a yellow winged darter,
flitting through my memories.
Merging with amethyst, you settle,
camouflaged against her plumb jacket.
Your wings recall the fairies
from the tales she told, frolicking
amongst the lavender and marigolds;
frequently, they danced into my dreams.
------- Author's Notes -------
A yellow winged darter is a type of dragonfly. |

Took me back to my days as a child, reminded me very much of my grandmother. Thanks for another beautiful poem. |
