Poetically Prompted

Dragonfly, mystery, blue

Dragonfly a mystery
blue body and clear wings
why call you a dragonfly
dragons are such different things
they breathe fire and smoke
you float over misty ponds
to name you after dragons
seems such a blatant wrong
your name should be more gossamer
to match tour pretty wings
flutterby or glassywing
would be a better fit
instead they named you dragonfly
so all must live with it
