~The Dragon Flies' Lair~ VIII
January 29, 2004 | bentfeather, Poets of The Dragon Flies' Lair

Posted on 01/28/2004 9:53:03 PM PST by Soaring Feather

My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Sonnet #16: Red Sky at Night



The flush of early-evening heat recalls
A fevered dream... Across the lawn, the bands
Of shadows deepen. Only where we stand,
Hid by the cool and mossy garden wall,
Do the last dusty rays of sunlight fall.
I press your fingers in my trembling hand,
Dazed and exalted by your closeness, and
Kiss you in anguished ecstasy. For all
Your charming wickedness and insolence,
There lingers pathos in the urgency
Of quickened pulse and heightened, swooning sense.
Only the young, as restless as the sea,
Are privileged to passions so intense,
That flare, consume—and die as brilliantly.

Cool.
I was trawling through my older writings for something I'd scribbled down.
Now I can't find it.
*hmm*

Good morning Sam!

Hope all is well with you.

"Red Sky at Night" interesting Sonnet. Lovely graphic as usual.

Great song picks today, "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor", a real blast from the past!

LOL Love it.

I wrote this yesterday then got caught up in customer problems and forgot to post it.

Happy Birthday

I liked you in the movies,
All made so long ago.
On TV in my youthful years,
You'd host that western show.
Later on I'd catch your talks,
On late night radio.
Your great talks on the U S A,
Helped keep me in the know.
Then when you ran for President,
I was the first in line.
I cast my vote and felt so good,
My vote I knew was fine.
You led us through some tough times,
With such class through it all.
You stood and faced the Soviets,
That caused the wall to fall.
So Happy Birthday to you Ron,
You're still high on my chart.
I pray for you and Nancy too,
You both have won my heart.

I had to cut it back. Originally it was twice as long. Ronald Reagan has been an influence on me my whole life. His strong yet calming manner no matter what the issue was so inspiring.

I can't remember the name of the Western Theatre show he hosted. It was sponsored by 20 Mule Team Borax. Later Rosemary Decamp hosted it.

I truly love the man and pray everyday that he is comfortable. Nancy is so inspirational as well.

The weather had knocked a lot of systems out so I had my tools and test equipment an played technician with my technicians. We were all bustin A all day and finally got it under control.

I hate telephone equipment and voice mail and data networks and anything that uses electricity and silicon to process 1's and 0's. Selling, installing, and repairing this crap is my life. I want to paint and write.

All you have to do is figure out how to get paid for doing that, if you do, let me know. :-)

Same story here, what I do for work and what I like to do are two different things.
