~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XII~
May 14, 2004 | bentfeather and poets of The Lair

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...

I wish I were a wolf

Do you, now?

Then pay homage...

The Alpha Male

He rules from a secret place,
one that is not a place,
where no human has ever trod.

His people are legion,
the breeds and the hounds,
the packs gather at His call,
shivering sound in the night.

From the Stronghold, He comes,
Death in His jaws,
strength in mighty sinew,
no prey outlasts Him,
mightiest of His race.

Fear Him, bend leg and bow to Him,
chieftain of all the tribes,
He who needs no name,
only His crown and title:

The Alpha Male.

Today

Yes, it was marvelous and fearful
Exciting and tearful
at times it was mirthful and poetic in form
my eyes are now closing and the
day is reposing and I am willingly
dozing and dreaming of star gazing
comets blazing across night skies

Good night feather.

We had a big long thunderstorm and shut the 'puters down for quite awhile. Sam says they only have about one per year like this. LOL. Something I used to see weekly in the spring!

254 ("'Hope' is the thing with feathers –")
by Emily Dickinson

"Hope" is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –

And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –

I've heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of Me.
