Indeed! Nice 'old' poem. Am always on the look-out for "dust-free
blackberries". I had to look up 'shot-silk' in the wiki as I'd never heard
the term before. Turns out I'd been admiring it all my life and never
knew what it was called. Later, I asked my wife and she replied instantly,
amazed at my ignorance. (I guess this was a notable deficit as usually
she isn't even amazed.) But anyway, now that I know, I think it's a
great description. I love dragonflies. There are many down here in
Baytown, Texas. I have three waterlily "ponds" (actually livestock
watering troughs) and they just love them. They have this amazing
mating dance, ever seen it?
