DRAGONFLIES
AND DAMSELFLIES


By Josie Whitehead
Dragonflies and Damselflies

Dragonflies and damselflies
     Bejewelled with colours bright;
Hovering near an emerald lake;
     Glittering in the light.

​

They’ve wings of iridescent shades
     And striking, searching eyes.
Their agile bodies soar and glide
     Across clear, azure skies.

​

Chasing, skimming, flying fast,
     Their brilliant colours gleam.
Glistening, glinting in the sun
     Over lakes and streams.

​

They lived their lives upon this earth
     Before the dinosaurs.
Since ancient times they’ve hunted food
     Around their watery shores.

​

The dragonflies and damselflies
     Will make you stop and stare.
They’re living rainbows in our world -
     These artworks of the air.
