Prompted poetry: four of summer

This is a typically lovely image from a beautifully realized and truly magical deck. A whole host of ideas and poems presented themselves when I saw it. Here is one of the better efforts.

on the pond’s mossy bank
I watch dragonflies
rise from predatory depths to shed

their nymph bodies caught in the surface
tension, trading gills for wings
and viscous water for liquid sky
