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...

Hello!

You are welcome to post your poetry in the Lair.

Censoring a poet's work is not in my book.

I was really taken with the title of the piece. Intriguing and immediately draws one into the poem.

I admit it appealed to me by its elements, Time and Writing. History is nothing if not the memoirs of time after all.

All I have done today is write "air poetry"!

I do that a lot lately and when I go to put pen to paper the lines do not fall as they did. Yikes. ;(

Oh, I meant to tell you little dragonfly was with me while I read my piece last Saturday. I was very proud to wear it. Please tell Nan.

Good night dear lady, duty calls tomorrow and I have about three hours standing to rest up for. Stay out of trouble, and sweet dreams!

Thank you!

A picture is worth a thousand words
And graphics are what I like to herd.
A little of this and some of those
And before I know it, the picture is prose.

Good morning, Kathy. One thing great about America; there are still thousands of little churches like this one, and they are all full.
