A clever pairing of the dance of the dragonfly and the dance of love, renewed, remembered. Lovely presentation June for this Somonka poem. You are very good with the Japanese forms.
Cheers

This is really beautiful poetry and easier for me to see than most. The theme and subject all work together for a stunning presentation. I'd dance away with my love too! Sending you my best today as always, and my very best for the challenge,

This is a very well written somonka poem you have penned for the club. I love to watch dragonflies. Their wings are so dainty looking. You used great descriptive words. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri

Nicely done. I like the way you compair the movements of the dragonflies to a dance. The idea that it reminds you of a dance you and your love once did in the evening around the pond. It is something you long to repeat.

You tried to entice your husband to dance with you using the dragonfly mating dance to remind him your romance in the past. It's very clever. I think we all need to rekindle our love in long marriages.

Well done.

The poem is beautifully stated. The message is clear. The visual fits well. I wish the text was a bit larger for easier reading. This is a good club entry. Good luck in the club contest.
