I live by the water, This lake is my home, My nymph is aquatic, It doesn’t like to roam, My legs are weak and fragile, Walking I can’t do, But my wings are powerful, They carry me across the blue, High in the trees I glide, My length cuts through the air, I speed above the picnickers, They don’t know I’m there, I’m a Yellow-winged Darter, Sympetrum flaveolum to my friends, Watch me as I whizz on by, Down the river-bend.
