See him hover, over river and pond <br />just like a fairy waving a wand. He looks <br />quite stunning this graceful thing, flying <br />around on brightly coloured wing. <br />He can sometimes flys up to fifty miles an <br />hour. Then lands like kamikaze on a lilly pad <br />flower. He has a huge great appetite when he <br />starts to feed, feeding of the larvae within the <br />marsh reed. 'The Devils Darning Needle' he <br />has sometimes been called, but in the eyes of <br />a nature lover he is 'A Water Lord' <br />He is great to watch, with his serenity and charm <br />when the ponds are still and the rivers calm. <br />Rich in colour with a lace like wing, he is the Dragonfly <br /> 'The Proud Emperor King'<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-water-lord/
