The Dragonflies' Lair ~ Thread XXXIX~ June ~ July~ August
Poets of The Dragonflies' Lair | June 19, 2007 | Soaring Feather

My Dragonfly 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...

‘Twas wonderful, we were poolside, the entire afternoon. It was too windy for many of us to go in, but one of the brave granddaughters swam for hours.

I received lovely gifts, a denim jacket with embroidery embellishing around the neck. A lovey pull over knit blouse with embroidered dragonflies on the front!
The cheesecake was out of this world.

ROTFLOL! Hilarious!

Oh, I am pooped, outside in the weather all day.

It was great, we saw a Scarlet Tanager pair, Cardinals, Hummingbirds, Hawk, and many more.

Sounds like you had a beautiful day as well as a fun one.

That’s a lot of different birds to see in one day.

It was the best bird show I’ve seen in a long time. They live near a creek in a rural area, the variety of birds that come to her feeder is amazing.

They also have a beaver family who enjoy cutting down the trees on the creek bank.

We have a pond, that and the feeders attract a lot of wildlife. Oh, the parties they have!

It was lovely outside today except for the very cool and strong breeze. My house is so cool now that I am turning on the heat to take the chill out, I just can’t stand it anymore.

It takes a bit to heat the house up naturally (we have had sunny but not warm days) in a while now, so I am going to enjoy the heat. ;)

Water is great for attracting all manner of wildlife.
Oh, a dragonfly landed in the pool, I went over and fished it out with a net, put it on the concret to dry out a bit -it flew right back into the pool. It was missing a wing, my daughter fished it out again, I guess it died anyway.

You can’t save them all, Feather. At least you tried.

Dragonflies live for only 24 hours, I don’t think they are supposed to drown. ;)

It was indeed, save for the dragonfly dieing. That was sad.

Dang, it so chilly here nights I don’t think the fireflies are coming out, I have been watching no blinking going on.

Maybe they will show up next week it’s going to warm up again.

And how did your day on the job go, a quiet one??

Well, the house is finally warm and the sandman is creeping in around the corners. Soon it will be time to hit the pillows -well maybe not, there is an old movie on that I am watching. “I’ll Cry Tomorrow” ~the life story of Lillian Ross. She had a terrible battle with alcohol. Wound up on Skid Row, was in rehab for a while. I don’t know if she died sober or not. The movie does not go into that.
