Carpe Diem Tanka Splendor #8 dragonfly


dragonfly,
how do dragons fly?
with invisible wings
fueled by a heart of love
and a belly filled with fire

Here are some tanka from the real poets:

shamanic journey
a red dragonfly comes
to guide the canoe
ancient wisdom unfolds
becoming one with the dragonfly

© Jane Reichhold & Chèvrefeuille

glittering blue
above empty riverbed
wings of dragonfly
through the mist, the croaking of frogs;
soon the riverbed will be full again
© Ese & Chèvrefeuille

dragonfly dances
above the old pond of Basho -
the sound of water
wings reflecting sunlight
on young green leaves

© Chèvrefeuille

    Hmmm.. am not so comfy with the first two of 'others'... the third is a delight - but yours holds its own against this... for me at least. YAM xx

    1. Thanks for your comment, YAM. I like the way the first brings a person to be one with nature.
