The Dragonflies'Lair~Thread XXXI

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...

"Beautiful poem. You might consider publishing if you have many more."

Actually, I have more than a hundred, and I've thought of doing a book on poetry, but my days are so busy that I don't have time to pull it all together and set up a proper manuscript. Maybe I'll have to get around to it this winter.

Maybe there is someone who can help you get the poems together. Just from what you've sent already, I know I'd like to buy a book of your poems.

I plan to spoil the heck out of her. She is very special to us, and deserves to have a very special life.

You're lucky! It's terrible weather here, high winds and steady rain all night and today.

Subtle sweet the entwining ebon night
strewn with glittering timeless gems so rare
seemingly tossed about as if without a care
now illuminated in my enfemeral sight

Between Dark and Dawn

That moment,
just before the clock rattles it chimes,
shattering the dawn with responsibilities,
is the best of times.

Warm, snug,
under embracing covers, like old friends,
your head cradled by a thoughtful pillow,
dreaming of what fate does send.

Weary and spent,
you and sleep, like verses in a rhyme,
share time and find common destinies,
the experience quite sublime.

Hiding from day’s tug,
upon the covers and our mind,
we snuggle deeper in the comforter,
seeking just a moment more with sleep to bind.

Between Dark and Dawn


Very comforting, lulling the reader to dream land
sheltered under a huge quilt of bliss
while exposing the realities of life.

I fed 6 ducks in the back yard this morning. Some sun, going in and out. Glad you have a nice shiny day.
