A Dragonfly rides windy waves,

Collides with tawny moths.

Sapphire swallowtails do dive

After stillness for months.


The table’s set by Queen Anne’s Lace

For all blackflies and bees.

Though when they try to settle there,

They are blown by the breeze.


Long had they been the prisoner

Of winter’s frost and ice.

But now they flutter, crawl, and squirm,

It’s spring so they rejoice.


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece because I wanted to capture the warmth and newness of spring. I included the specific animals and elements that were parts of the season that I enjoyed.
