Uncommon Dragonfly

Uncommon mother,
Uncommon tired,
Living for 36 days,
Still, evanescent, wired.

Note: This dragonfly is a Common Whitetail mature female.

  Thanks, the dragonflies are dwindling, but majestic. I don’t miss the mosquitoes when the first cold snap comes, but I miss the winged avengers. 🙂
