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...

One Abstract Night

Well, that was my trip into the Twilight Zone. I have another one more weird (if that's possible.)
I "let you in here" cause you're talented. ;-) And crazy like me.


I am very afraid of horses. I ain't afraid of much, but horses I am.

[Soaring Feather]

I know how to fly with the Dragonfly, that's all I need.

Bridge of Relief


You are my bridge
spanning onto new plateaus
over patches of rough water
open chasms of peril and fear
with you near me...

I have no dread of tomorrow
or of cold black nights
or of holding ceremonies
from dusk til dawn
you are my dusk, my dawn
my past and my future...
you are the ceremony...

This poem was written here at FR in the Old Belvedere Lounge, The Poetry Branch of Free Republic.
I wrote it in twenty minutes.

Not weird . . . as an artist you sometimes have to get it all out on paper. No holding back. Then take a look at it and make it into something. Or just leave it alone. IMHO.

Very fitting to the Wild Ponies of Assateague Island, Virginia. =)

[Soaring Feather]

Yupper, and I did not think to look for this poem. ;(

Hi Doll!

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Handsome!! ;)

[blackie]

Wanna get together?

Be careful with horn-hat. :)

[Soaring Feather]

Getting together with ms feather and blackie
an afternoon stomp
we hope don't go wacky
blackie is feared of ms feather's horns
ms feather is feared of Elmo's arms.

Not to mention Elmo's giant feet.
An afternoon romp, may end in a stomp
and ms. feather the afternoon in the ER.
LOL bf

Ah, thanks for the update. Most interesting. Danged cold there!

Gorgeous day here today. Temps in the 50s. I walked to the pharmacy this afternoon. Had my light jacket on, but didn't need it.
