DUPLICITY

Gay Reiser Cannon - 10/3/13

Thirteen moons

Wicked

          Sanctuary

Wounded in the House of a Friend,

As I Lay Dying,

                    I Capture the Castle.

Dragonfly Caprice

Green Dragonfly (public domain)

He lifts in a jeweled grazioso
afterwards he hovers above the leaves.
His iridescent wings ostinato
when he flashes an allegro reprise  --
darts lively, then dizzily starts to weave
dazzling con fuoco designed cadenzas
marked next by his rallentando segues
ending in opalescent mazurkas!

Definition - Caprice: a tendency to change one's mind without apparent or adequate motive; whimsicality;
