DRAGONFLIES AT PLAY by Kimara Wise When fairies were created, I think it’s safe to say, That someone watch the dragonflies, Joyously at play. They dance among the flowers, The flit among the leaves, Lapping up the dewdrops, Like early morning thieves. Their wings are iridescent, They’re delicate and fine, Like oil upon the water, Or …
