Unseen they gather
Living jewels bearing flame
Mirror summer’s fire
Exasperating presence
Beauty is invisible

Darn flies! So, what is the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly? I’ve heard both?? Your tanka made something that is a pest appear beautiful. That is magical. ❤

The dragonflies are as big as your hand, the damsels tend to be no bigger than a toothpick 🙂

and a dragonfly here https://scvincent.com/2017/09/01/jewels-2/
