nothing to do
on this lazy summer day —
time balances
on the wings
of a dragonfly

Author Notes
"Having flown the earth for 300 million years, dragonflies symbolize the ability to overcome times of hardship they remind us to take time to reconnect with our strength, courage, and happiness" - mysouldiscovery
Gogyohka is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. === source = writers digest ===source=wikipedia
Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
