Dragonfly @ Glen Echo, 2005
Momentary rest
Dragonfly tranquility
Blink - vanishes
Just this week, the photo cd which contained this image surfaced. I am so happy to have found it once again. It's one of my favorite photos as I love dragonflies.
There are more lovely images and poetry here.
P.S. I have been asked some questions about the community of blogging, would love your input. The questions are at this recent post. Thanks.

Love the haiku and photo. I especially like the hyphen in the last line.
Cool.
Dragonflies are wonderful and the picture is so amazing a haiku was a perfect choice ;)
Love the photo, good timing.
The haiku is great, I like how it is unclear as to who's tranquility it is.
I think dragonflys are just mystical creatures- I always feel like one around me is some long lost relative of mine...
Wonderful haiku and picture- just perfect!
You've captured the dragonfly and its fleeting nature so well here.
I liked both the picture and the haiku. Haiga?

One of the best haiku I've read. A beautiful photo, too. These made for a fine post!
Thank you for your comments, I am trying to break out of the 5-7-5 haikus. I agree that dragonflies are mystical.
When I was a kid we called them "helicopters" and chased all around reedy ponds. And why were they always there? I don't know. Great poem.
lovely poem. and you took this photo? how lucky!
I love the way that your haiku takes us beyond the picture, reminds us of the fleeting nature of dragonflies (and everything else) and so encourages us to rest for a moment and enjoy the tranquility of your poem and photo. Really nice.
