On A Dragonfly's Wing
I am the rainbow on a dragonfly's wing
Offering of my all to pink wings that sing
Thy Pink Pixie, please dry my moist tears
Night approaches, creating my worst fears
So, encompassed by wings of Pink delight
I-Rainbow-shimmer & shine even tonight
Myself and the Sun God Ra light the land
The power of our beauty is in God's hand
Lighting up all things great, heaven wrought
Those in love simply stare,... lost in thought
Even when that time comes for the last fling
I am still the rainbow on a dragonfly's wing

a beautiful piece.....heartfelt...and love the pic as well..well done

Beautiful, inspirational and lovely images! I knew this would be a great write when i saw the title on your page. It just reminds me of the movie "Dragonfly" and how beautifully it is made just as this poem, although the two have no reference absolutely! both marvellous in their own ways!
Love and light,

Amazing!
I enjoyed this piece. I loved the "playful with a dash of serious" approach. Your rainbow shines when your write! Is the use of "pink" referring to female? It seems almost as though there is a masculine "dragonflies wings" and feminine "pink wings". Lovely and great imagery. Thanks for sharing~

lovely
just... lovely.
Made me sigh and smile somewhat ruefully (envious of both your talent and whatever it is she has that would make you write this).
This is definitely a favorite!

This one made me cry, have been sitting here a while... it was just the sort of poem my heart needed to read today... you write with such beauty and palpable love for others, it is a shame not everyone knows true friendship such as this... I can see you have a wonderfully caring heart... it is carefully woven throughout each syllable.... extraordinary write...

A lovely poem of enchantment
You are so generous with beauty in this sweet poem, JohnnyD! I love rainbows, pixies, and all things of that sort, so you know this poem is pleasing me plenty well!
-
Marvelous. I enjoyed this piece so very much. The way you use your words. Almost in old english. "heaven wrought"..beautiful use. The picture also adds such remarkable feelings envoked. The wonder and magnificence of a rainbow, whether it be one after a storm or in description of a wonderful and unique individual.
This is not a criticism by any means. The true way to spell Ra is actually Re. =) Just something of interest for you sir.
Again, thank you for letting us all be privy to your penned works.

Very nice, but may i say, it feels somewhat forced, the meaning is beutiful, its a wonderful poem, but maywith a bit of editing it can fleshed out to something that does not force the eye, please do not take offense, this is a constructive remark, Thanks for sharing this it has great potential

I saw this one day
Darling Dad
One day driving far
I saw this rainbow
umbrella over my car
as I went oh.
My beautiful sigh died
looking to rainbows end
my eyes pried wide
knowing there joy begins.
