The Red Dragon Fly
Winter
Winds
blow
Snow
Falls
We don
coats
And
hats
Pull on
gloves
Snuggle
down
Like
bear
Who
slumbers
In her
den
Yet,
remember
Sunny
days
Of
summer
Your
presence
In a
desert valley
Fly
above
Small
streams
You
dance
You
sing
You
knit the world
Darning
needle
The Red
Dragon Fly

Even in the dead of winter, we do remember sunny days. And yes, the importance of dancing and knitting the world together!
I like the contrast between the two seasons and the way you tied the two together with the color red.
i like the knitting of the world...and we can do that regardless of the season...sometimes i pine for the sun as well..but try to appreciate what each season has to offer...
i will fix your link...smiles.
My son used to have a fire engine red winter coat :) Nice contrast between the two stanzas - and I like the idea of the red dragon fly as a darning needle, knitting the world!
sweetness & longing, sadness neath dark cloud bellies, your 55 has legs & heart; thanks.
I must second Margaret's take on the dragon fly as darning needle. What a cool idea, what a zig-zagged world they would knit.
agreed, imaginative write with the red dragonfly ~
Lovely write.. Seasons and that longing we feel... Wonderful
so beautiful
I like that flash of red through all the monochrome winter landscape, which brings back memories of summer dragonflies. Nicely done!
I love "you knit the world - darning needle - red dragon fly" Beautiful and uplifting.
Very refreshing write..I too like the knitting and dragon fly lines ;)
Great balancing between the seasons, and an artful use of contrast in the bright and muted colors as well.
