She entered my garden for a visit, she stayed never exit


Poem Artwork

Final perch
~~~~~*~~~~~
She entered my garden
Looking stressed out
Her beautiful colors faded
No iridescent flavors
Left upon the loveliness
Of her wings.

Exhausted
To the point of
Elusive dreams
She indiscriminately
Perched upon
An unseen masterpiece
Of a spider’s web trap
Where there’s no return.

Somewhere within
The unknowns of the night
She met her fate
The Dragonfly’s nightmare
Drifting
Into the Elysian
Of her destiny.

Well described, she was caught because of her fatigue, it seems. High language.

WHAT A UNIQUE METAPHORIC WORK, WILLIAM. ONE COULD VERY EASILY RELATE THIS SAD SCENE TO A REAL LIFE TRAGEDY, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME...WRONG CHOICE, WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME. THE IMAGERY IS WONDERFUL, THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

This reminds me of Paula, my first daughter She grew up wanting to be like her dad. I’m no one to emulate . . . Haven’t heard from her in almost two years. I am worried, but I hope she is well.
