Poems

Well, I have been very busy these days and not much book reading has been done.

That is not to say I have not been READING!

Just other things. Like writing. And even teaching Vacation Bible School!

I invite you to go to Poetry.com to vote or comment on this poem:
Look for the author name bessken.

Adirondack Pond

Stillness of pond belies it treasures.

Forest of fragrant firs

Hides you from path.

Emerging transparent beauty,

Fragile mystery before me.

One ephemeral foggy morning

Hundreds of you arise from swampy waters.

In morning mist I see you climbing.

Tenuous stem-clasping steps.

Each one brings you closer.

Closer to the top where you stop,

Clinging tightly with every foot.

Transforming like miracles

From creatures of water into creatures of air.

Brilliant blues and shimmering greens

Grace your delicate wings.

As lovely a damsel as ever did fly

Go now, to eat and mate and die.

Or be eaten never knowing why,

Eternal Damselfly.
