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 me...
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...

The dog days of Summer
are finally here,
the dog days of Summer
are a pain in the rear.
Sweating and cursing,
rashes we're nursing,
the heat of Summer
is a bummer . . .LOL!!!

The itchin'
the bitchin'
the down right witchin'
heat will get the sweat
to roll in your eyes
and sting like a bee.
Your a wipin', and gripin'
our of your mind swipin'
the sweat from your brow
and wishin' you was a cow
with your tail a twitchin'
The heat will cease
the cold will crease
your brow and
wrinkle your hands
then in the sand
the seeds settle down
and wait to germinate
To: bentfeather
LOL!!! . . .I love it . . . it sounds just like me out in that Texas heat. . . .itching and bitching . . .LOL!

Ms. Feather, that is breathtaking, so beautiful!
To: bentfeather; everyone
Court Jester
do you hide,
your sadness
deep inside?
A facade
of merriment
conjured only
for your King.
Court Jester
if you could,
would you say,
"I'm out of sorts today!
So King, take wing,
It's time for you
to sing,
and your own self woo."

To: bentfeather
Really good, thank you, and I hope you are as well!
Our first Fall show is in two weeks, so the craziness has definitely begun.
Thank you for inviting me to The Lair each day, I love sitting down in the evenings to read what had unfolded during the day, such beautiful things.
To: HopeandGlory
It was a rapid response which I really enjoy. Yes, two sides of the coin.
To: HopeandGlory
"I'm the sedate lillte Miss in pure white . . ."
Lillte Miss In Pure White
Lillte Miss in pure white, with your sonorous flight,
So beguiling to us, cringing here in days night,
Is there hope for our souls, that they too may fly?
Though your lilting gives cheer, it does not answer why.
In our village of mean, dingy streets and of dirt,
How did something so pure come alive out of hurt?
With a voice that enthralls, and a delicate hand,
When will you depart with the Lords of the land?
In the meantime, sing on. Lift our hearts with your trill.
Let the tears of our joy down our dusty cheeks spill.
Help us lighten our burden, and embrace with faint hope,
That you will not be wed, and we lose Miss and Thrope.
In our village so poor, we have only one joy,
And we curse in a silence to await its employ.
Sing out your heart, while it still has its wings,
As we pause in our drudging of all lesser things.

To: NicknamedBob
LOL . . . !!!Bravo, bravo,
take heart, take heart,
I will most certainly,
not take flight.
By now you must know,
If not before,
here, I'm a fixture,
and you . . .I adore . . .;-)

Good Evening friends!
Who wants a pancake,
Sweet and piping hot?
Good little Bentfeather looks up and says,
"I'll take the one on top."
Who else wants a pancake,
Fresh off the griddle?
Terrible Hope smiles and says,
"I'll take the one in the middle."

To: Spotsy; HopeandGlory
I like waffles
piping hot
with lots of syrup
on the top
and berries in the middle
thick enough to stand a stick!
To: Spotsy; bentfeather
WooHoo Spotsybelle . . .you dun good!!!Oh Lord, are we waiting
for Spotsy again?
this wayward child Lord,
you need to re-brain.
Her tardiness factor
is really the limit
but, her pancakes Lord, are
simply the best . . . I admit it.
So Spotsy darlin'
as usual, you're forgiven
for without Spotsys' pancakes,
lifes just not worth living . . .;-)
