As usual please feel free to leave constructive criticism, and interactive feedback. Thank you!!! This week, I came up with a poem :). Let me know what you think, and feel free to participate.
DAMSEL FLY
In a place where
Big rocks are surrounded by
Flowing cool waters
All things nature
There I Damsel Fly stay
Quiet as can be
Not seeking attention
None needed ever
No expectations whatsoever
Still
I am all they see
Smiling and cooing
Like new born babes…
“Oh look at that tiny Damsel Fly
How cute and beautiful”
And I can’t help but flap my transparent wings
In sheer delight and approval
Mama was right
Life’s pleasures are often found
In the simplest and littlest of things
I being one of such…
Boomie Bol 
Beautiful poetry Boomie, agree with the message here, what a lovely tone
Big hugs 🙂
Oh thanks Soma, your comments are always a delight :). Big hugs always
“Life’s pleasures are often found
In the simplest and littlest of things”
Oh so true!
I agree :). Thanks twinnie
Very nice. I feel like this is a difficult prompt. I have no clue what to do with it.
I agree, this poem was the first thing that came to my mind :). I am sure you will come up with something :). Thanks always
Nice work! And all from looking at a pic.
Thanks Resa :)!!!
I love the way you’ve channeled the beautiful damsel fly but also given her human qualities. Very nice! cheers, Lorelei
Thanks for your comments on mine at http://www.westcoastwriters.blogspot.com
Thank you for stopping by mine and taking time to comment :).
Well done!!
Thank you!!!
I love the message, beauty and God is in the detail and in simplicity! Great work as usual!! 🙂
Thank you as always. Glad you enjoyed this 🙂
This Boomie girl is so good it’s annoying – she could even make a disease-carrying fly look good!
Enough said. 😉
Ha ha you are partial to me, but i will take it :). Thank you so much, I didnt even know damselflies were disease carrying lol. I always try to go with the first thing that comes to mind so as not to overdo it…i guess even some not so great species have great sides :). Enjoyed your post from today, well done!!!
I got the right post this week, didn’t I? I love the way that you contribute beauty to the world with your writing. I’m on the list.
Ha ha ha, yes you did. Will be by on the list to check yours in a few :). Your comment is making me blush if it was possible for me to blush, thanks Lady Marilyn.
Prose.. a great approach to the word count limit. Poetry can say so much more sometimes 🙂

Thanks so much, just stopped by yours, like it very much, the ending is so shocking but very well done. The story is easily real
Unfortunately it could be true.
Absolutely!!!
Clever…from the Damselfly’s POV. Lovely message at the end. Here’s mine:

I can just imagine a damsel fly flapping its wings in delight at being praised and it made me smile to think of it, thanks for that on a Friday morning. Here’s mine: http://womanontheedgeofreality.com/2012/06/22/friday-fictioneers-gramps-and-me/

You did an amazing job :). Thanks
The fly’s perspective was great – innocent and full of wonder.
Mine is here: http://erinleary.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/flash-friday-fiction-6/#entry
Very creative and poetic. I like how you tell the story from the fly’s point of view.

Thank you so much. I appreciate this comment

I liked that, loved the concept of the humble little Damsel Fly trying to just be himself and yet everyone loves him exactly for that.
Thank you Madison
Real truth here…nice job!

I don’t know why I read this with a Southern twang but in my head, that fly is a Southern belle. lol Great poem.
Ha ha, i would sure love to hear it lol. Thanks
Maybe one day I’ll record it. lol
“Damsel Fly” is wonderful, Boomie; a perfect poem to read to your twins until they memorize it.
The message about the simplist & littlest things is a point well made; good job…
Thank you so much, and i will be sure to read it to them. Thank you
