Gathering

Posted on August 9, 2018 by Sue Vincent

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

For Colleen’s tanka challenge

    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. ❤

    Beautiful Tanka, Sue. Although I agree, they should remain outdoors. 😀 xx
