The idea of this is lovely and so enchanting! I've never quite thought of the "maps" a dragonfly has, or imagined the journey their wings take them on. Great imagery with the "historical cities" and "rivers of mist"... it plays into the imagination and the desire to travel beyond what we have been shown.

And fourth stanza, should "dawns" be "dawn's".

Captivating write!

Awwwwww thank you MaryAnne :-) and yes... thank you for the heads up on Dawn's :-) hugs you!

This is beautiful Maple, the tone tot he poem is so relaxing, and it really makes you want to go outside and just embrace the nature here and embark upon this journey you have described.

Your wording, always, is very exciting, it makes you want to read on and the lines all connect together. The layout is always eye catching too which helps the reader enjoy the story.

I always think your nature poems hold parts of you inside them, it is like you put yourself into them, and this one is no different. It shows this is the thing you hold onto, the nature around you and the good things in the world. These things keep you going.

I adore the title, and the idea of the maps being on the wings of a dragon fly, if anyone has ever saw the wings one, they will know that they are lined with wrinkles and lines and details.

Adored this poem.

:)

I have not but I have always wanted to fly. It would be great if I could do so even in a dragonfly! And study the maps on its wings as I travel the world.
I would need to be small though, but ah it would be fun so long as other insects don't eat me lol also as long as I don't fall.

Then I would be taken into a beautiful journey like the one described in your poem.
