September came, with gentle sigh

Seducing tranquil dragonfly

Upon my screen door, it did rest

So lovely, with its wings outstretched

.

Perhaps the coolness from within

Felt nice and, thereby, welcomed him

Making him forget the autumn

Like spring, it felt, from top to bottom

.

He stayed but for a little while

This dragon with no flame

I loved his beauty, loved his style

Was delighted that he came

.

Then, all at once, he was gone

Left no trace of his essence

Except that, which now lies upon

My heart, like effervescence

.

How long does a dragon live

A dragon with translucent wings

No matter – ‘twas a fairy gift

A wellspring of enchanting things

.
