Finalist in the 'The Write Note 2021' competition

Magnificent, miniscule, molecules of magic,
Darting from leaf to leaf,
Fast, diminutive survivors,
Dragonflies bring joy to our life.
Helicopters of hope, hovering high,
Ancestors have been around
For hundreds of millions of years,
But their lifetime is mere moments in comparison.
Kaleidoscope of colours,
Crimson, blue, green, pink,
With wings that are clear but a rainbow,
Dragonflies bring joy to our life.
