Sorry, using prompt as excuse to talk about one of my favourite insects…!

As old as time, Odonata. Not magical, just a born survivor. Aerial expert, I’m a helicopter.

Weaving and diving. Surviving, dare I say thriving? Incomplete metamorphosis eating power, like a hippopotamus

A conjurer of tall order. Molting, changing, Physical recorder. Nymph-like, a damsel In distress.

Water, faster.

D i s s a p e a r i n g

Losing my space,

Total disaster.
