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...

"Your book sounds fun..."

It was loads of fun to write, the characters really came alive for me. I'm looking forward to hearing reports from people who read it.

The Unicorn

by Shel Silverstein

 

A long time ago, when the Earth was green

There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen

They'd run around free while the Earth was being born

And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

There was green alligators and long-necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born

The loveliest of all was the unicorn

The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain

And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"

He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do

Build me a floating zoo, and take some of those Green alligators and long-necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born

Don't you forget My unicorns

Old Noah was there to answer the call

He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall

He marched the animals two by two

And he called out as they came through Hey Lord,

I've got green alligators and long-necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn

I just can't find no unicorns"

And Noah looked out through the driving rain

Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games

Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling

Oh, them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling

And we just can't wait for no unicorns"

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide

The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried

And the waters came down and sort of floated them away

That's why you never see unicorns to this very day

You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born

You're never gonna see no unicorns.

Good morning, Lair! Feathers, congratulations on your book! We can say we knew you when :)

It Is Not a Word
Sarah Teasdale

It is not a word spoken,
Few words are said;
Nor even a look of the eyes
Nor a bend of the head,

But only a hush of the heart
That has too much to keep,
Only memories waking
That sleep so light a sleep.

[StarCMC]

I like this one Colonel! :o)

[Soaring Feather]

Star, thanks so much for The Unicorn lyrics. Lovely graphic.

[Soaring Feather]

Once By The Ocean



The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God's last Put out the light was spoken.

I'm glad you liked it. It was actually set to music by the Irish Rovers.

[NicknamedBob]

There are other FReepers who have already published, and let us also remember BKO, who died on Sept 11, 2001. I have not made a list of them, but it should not be surprising that among this group of talented and clever people, there are writers for the public consumption.

I am pleased and honored that you included me on YOUR list! And I will certainly let you, and many, many, other people know when it is available!

[Soaring Feather]

Sam, good morning.

"Once By The Ocean, Robert Frost " thought provoking work. Thank You for coffee, tunes and donuts.

Listening to the tunes now.,

[Colonel_Flagg]

Good morning, Star! Thank you :) Hope you are well this morning!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Hi, feathers! How are things with you today?

[StarCMC]

I am great!!

I gotta get moving and get ready for a day out with the parents-in-law. I'll be pooped when I get home. It's like being the only responsible adult herding 5 kids! Whew!

HUGS!!

[Soaring Feather]

GM Colonel, doing well thank you. Trust all is well with you.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Good luck to you!
