As Kingfishers Catch Fire

Whenever I turn down an ne'er before traveled country road, the anticipation of happening upon new vistas is inescapable and the discovery of another charming barn is just plain giddiness wrapped with a gossamer bow of joy.

Taking a closer look at my photos and discovering that what appears to be a smudge on the monitor is actually the perfect capture of a dragonfly is a combination of delight and bliss gushing over the sides of my bucket of luck.

::::

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell’s
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name.
