A swarm
of dragonflies
invade the kingdom
of the pond
where I the King
of silence am
my peace of mind
besieged now
by this
terrifying host
monstrous in their magnificence
to this
tiny child
inspiring fear
akin
to Genghis Khan.
I run
for dear life
beat a hasty retreat
through these awesome hordes
live
to tell the tale
of my
survival
to
chuckling
Aunt & Uncle.
