The Dragonflies Lair~Thread XXIX
The Muse and Poets of the Lair | July 12, 2006 | bentfeather

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...

No, really! That's where the wings attach.

His armpits, oh man, I am not seeing well today. I thought for sure they were his ears.

Some bats have ears shaped like that. I don't know if insects can. The Terminix commercial says most can't hear.

Good afternoon. Are you molting at all? I have a craving for feathers.

As Steve Allen used to say, "You can't get far when your bird is wet!"

night falls silently
displacing light by absence
on lovers twinkle peeking stars

It'd be lovelier if it didn't feel so much like my eyelids.
