I am green eyed with jealousy as my pathetic little artistic efforts pale into total insignificance by comparison,
…

Spoiler: A MEMORY IN TIME - a Poem by the Pennifer

This is an old one I wrote, but I remembered it had a dragonfly in it .. just including it for fun ... and hoping someone else will write a poem too!
A Memory In Time

A little girl stands silently. She’s lost to time and care.
She knows she should be listening, but she is unaware.
She doesn’t hear her Father’s call, (a promised trip to town)
For she has found a magic place, and she is held spellbound.

There is utter peace and stillness in the heavy creek-wet air
And the moisture clings so sweetly to her face and dampened hair.
The secluded creek bed hollow is all gold with stream and sand
She knows the water’s cold and clear, she’s scooped some with
her hand.

The creek has cut into the bank, and tangled roots show bare
They form a perfect hideaway … some tiny creature’s lair.
Further up the stream, it’s noisy and she listens for a moment,
And below she knows the culvert makes her gentle creek a torrent.

But, this spot is so tranquil, undisturbed by rushing splash
Its stillness only broken by a silver minnow’s flash.
Her eye is caught … a dragonfly, on iridescent wing …
Alights for just a moment, making tiny surface rings.

She could not know this time and space encapsulated whole
Imprinted in her mind with awe, forever in her soul
Would be recalled with clarity as long as she would live
Nor could she know the treasured peace this memory would give.

My mother is actually obsessed with dragonflies so I literally have them all over my house. I wrote this for her when I was about 15, I think it was for mothers day but I'm not sure. XD I hope this is allowed as well. ^-^

A touch of luck on my arm
Wings webbed from color wheels
Neon bodies and rounded eyes
I was chosen
Summer spent chasing swift flight
The way to catch was just to be still
I stared for seconds that felt like minutes
It flew away, done with its adventure
Whispers suddenly in my ear;
"That's pure luck y'know"
It was a mothers wisdom and just a touch of luck.
​

Of course it was about a dragonfly, my mom considers them lucky and every summer my brothers and I would try to get one to land on us. lol XD

But thank you for this contest and for bringing up childhood memories~ ^-^

I'd like to enter, Dragonfly! I love the banded and petaltail dragonflies in the game too, I played the Giant Dragonfly tour a lot to get the Gold medalist badge. Also, I like how they're easier to catch in new leaf than they were in city folk ^_^

Spoiler: this is just beautiful

This is exquisite! Thank you, cheezyfries ♥ ♥ ♥

ah thank you, and you're welcome! i'm not a good writer so i'll probably stick to quotes and stuff haha, here's this quote about dragonflies i found!

"may you touch dragonflies and stars, dance with fairies and talk to the moon. . . and always know how loved you are."

i took it off a text box but i can't get the image to show you >.<

I love dragonflies! Whenever I see one I like to think that they are a message from loved ones that have passed on. Back in the summer of 2012 I had gone out on my patio and found one laying there, it was trying to fly (wings were moving) but was not succeeding. So I went and got a piece of paper to scoop it up, let in lay in my hands for a bit and asked the Universe to help it to fly away. I then gently laid it on some leaves of a bush in my yard. About an hour later I went to check on it and it was gone. I like to think that it did fly away. I have a piece of dragonfly metal art in my living room.

This is lovely, mysticoma ... it is easy to believe that such delicate beauty could have special significance! I have dragonfly metal art also, some on our pillar outside in our seating area, and on the sunroom wall! Just love it!
