The Dragonflies' Lair~Thread XXXII~
The Muse and Poets of The Lair | December 1, 2006 | Soaring Feather

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...

I am rolling on the floor after reading....

I've tried and tried to lift this fat
from this ice and that is that!
The weight in my behind, it's clear, is detrimental
for this Polar Bear.

This is too funny.....the muse at work.

I just can't bear
to see the wear
upon that poor old bear
off on a workout tear

Struggle to bend
weight somewhere else to send
if only he could manage to tend
to the pounds that pend

Slim the waist and that big butt too
keep them down oh please do
or that ice'll collapse you'll have to sue
cut the carbs or for you its the zoo

Oh, Ahpun, how is the male meeting going for her?

I hope there is no bad fur between those two. ;)

For My Hawk And Playmate - To My True Kindred Spirit

 
 
Come dance with me
in the wind and the weather
holding fast
we tumble through heather
purple, gold, opal, white,
new discovered
by dawn's fresh light.
Come laugh with me
til breath is scant
our cheeks blood red
with merriment.
Eyes aglow, mischief bright
the other's joy
brings each delight.

Answer to Lenchen by Hawk:

To my true kindred spirit:

I will dance with you
in the wind and the weather,
holding you tight as we tumble through heather.
May the dance last forever,
and may time be abolished
could I say something clever
so all doubts be demolished?
I will laugh without rest
'til my lungs are screaming
will consider it best
to be trusting and dreaming.
Eyes aglow with a shimmer,
like the children we are,
as we dance in the glimmer
of the morning - not far.
As I hold your sweet hand
and look into your eyes,
as we dance through the land,
as we watch the sun rise.
Now I know what I've missed
'cause it did not ring true:
As children we've kissed
and this child loves you.
And wherever you go
when your heart wants to smile,
I will never say 'NO'
to the very last mile.

Herbert Nehrlich

Sorry about the dang formatting. I've been fighting Microsoft's ideas about formatting and believe I've found a way to get around it.

About the poems, my tagline has a clue...

Great tag line, wish I had thought of that.

Oh me, I just have to soar here and soar there, so I don't get sore. ;)

I am curious, have you tried using FireFox for a browser??
