#LaceChallenge by Marcus

Wings of lace

from the breath of an angel

wings created

through meadow graceful

seen beating, floating

a human’s touch would destroy its life, painful

sheer enough for light to pass

veins finely laced

a living stained glass

from stem to stem

waltzing through tall grass

wings designed to fly and hover

dips and dives, loop de loop

sounds they make, stutter-flutter

a playful kamikaze

flirting in the months of summer

in a silent embrace

dragonflies mating

origami masters using paper lace

would fail to replicate

its beauty and darting grace

come visit often

little blue dragonfly

we’ve a short time until autumn

for you i, but not i for you

will be forgotten

with colours so sublime

a garden fantasy

will look for you when its time

humming, the sound of spring

when your wings of lace buzz in rhyme
