Daniel Finds Poem 6

Morning dew glistens,
Crisp leaves crunch,
There's a home with many windows
in the old stone wall.
Cool pools to dive in,
Sun-warmed sand to lie in,
Singing at twilight when
the day is done.
Bright stars in the branches,
Moonlight on the grass,
And silent wings to take me
wherever I go.

On the way home, Daniel stops to watch
the sunset sky reflecting in the pond.
"That looks like poetry to me."
To me too," says dragonfly.
 家に帰る途中、ダニエルは池に沈む夕日の空を見るために立ち止まる。
