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...

Good night everyone.

[SoldierDad]

The circle appears to be circuitous. I'll now wish you a very good evening. I hope your day went well.

[Soaring Feather]

Good Sunday morning everyone.

[SoldierDad]

Cooooool. Very colorful hillsides. Good morning SF. My Patriots play today. Guess what I'll be doing at 1:00pm PST?

[Soaring Feather]

LOL Kicking back and watching the game!


The photo is from some place in California. I have forgotten now.

We both are here in the morning! YAY!!

[SoldierDad]

Yeah, we did manage to hit the circle in the same place at the same time, didn't we.

[Soaring Feather]

Yup!


We are having wonderful sunshine today with lower temps today. The long range forecast for the week is rain and snow mix. This is not "normal" for the Northeast in mid January. Usually, we are knee deep in snow and cold.


Have a wonderful day. ;)

[SoldierDad]

We currently have clear skys and temps in the low 30's. There's frost on the ground. Yes, it is rather unusual for you in the East to not have snow now. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Take care.

Looks like some of us have a premature case of spring fever.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL Spring Fever indeed. LOL

[Lady Jag]

By the evidence you've posted, you can't deny it.

heard a bird at dawn

I heard a bird at dawn Singing sweetly on a tree, That the dew was on the lawn, And the wind was on the lea; But I didn't listen to him, For he didn't sing to me. I didn't listen to him, For he didn't sing to me That the dew was on the lawn And the wind was on the lea; I was singing at the time Just as prettily as he. I was singing all the time, Just a prettily as he, About the dew upon the lawn And the wind upon the lea; So I didn't listen to him As he sang upon a tree. James Stephens

[SoldierDad]

LOL. So, without snow on the ground where you are, do you have spring fever?

[SoldierDad]

Nice poem. Thanks. Good morning to you.

[Lady Jag]

Not me. We have had winters that were spring-like the whole winter season, but that's not the norm. This is rare warm weather and I am not fooled.

This good weather probably means we'll get 5 feet of snow in February, but I am still praying for that long, mild winter!

[SoldierDad]

Well, I hope you get your wish to a degree. But water levels need to be replenished, so precip is needed.

[Soaring Feather]

Beautiful poem and graphic. Thank You.

[Lady Jag]

Cal needs water, but we don't. We're swimming in it. This year especially has been very rainy. The rain I get used to, the accompanying darkness I hate.

[SoldierDad]

Yeah, I can relate to the "darkness" issue. More sunlight will be welcomed. Cal doesn't necessarily need more water (other than So Cal). The problem is that Cal sells water to other states and does not have enough storage capacity to keep up with that outside demand.
