Picnic Afternoon

Lazy day on the lawn

I sit, seeing grass —

Dragonflies buzz around me

And dogs jump and run.

    There’s a nice underlying repetition of the color green in this (at least to me)…the green grass…that translucent bluish-green of dragonfly wings…a dog with a green collar or playing with a tennis ball…a very calming haiku. *Dragonflies always a welcome sight/idea since they deal with those pesky mosquitoes.
