The Dragonflies'Lair ~ Thread LV ~ Anniversary Thread
Poets of the Lair | August 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 08/01/2008 6:23:53 AM PDT by 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...

Good morning, everyone!

Carl Sandburg - Evening Waterfall

WHAT was the name you called me?—
And why did you go so soon?


The crows lift their caw on the wind,
And the wind changed and was lonely.


The warblers cry their sleepy-songs
Across the valley gloaming,
Across the cattle-horns of early stars.


Feathers and people in the crotch of a treetop
Throw an evening waterfall of sleepy-songs.


What was the name you called me?—
And why did you go so soon?

A pink slip is a drink, isn't it?

 

 

Lady Jag's Personal Horrorscope
for Tuesday, August 23, 2008

"Cleveland? Yes, I spent a week there one day."



 
Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Today you will discover a really cool technique of whistling through your nose. Oddly, nobody will be terribly enthusiastic about your new talent.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Excellent day to walk around wearing a white lab coat and carrying a clipboard.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Your window of opportunity is rapidly closing! Don't worry too much, though - the screen door of possibility is still ajar.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Today you will lose your marbles. Fortunately, someone will find them and return them to you.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

What fun! You'll be called in to a special meeting at work soon, where someone will have a "pink slip." Sounds like party attire to me!

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

You will be hit on the head by a carton of yogurt today, which will not strike you as being the least bit funny at the time. Later, of course, you'll all have a good laugh about it.

Libra (September 22 - October 22)

You will have a grilled cheese sandwich today, and a bowl of tomato soup. When nobody is looking you will secretly dunk your sandwich. You never tire of the wild life, do you?

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

In a strange form of protest against the new trends in personal adornment, you will make mooing sounds whenever you see someone with a nose ring. Coincidentally, some of them will say "Hay!"

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Excellent day to make odd hand gestures at people you don't know.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

            You are being watched by a large penguin. Act normal.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

While channel-surfing by remote control, you will accidentally happen upon a secret US government channel, and will overhear people in the Pentagon talking about their success with several operatives code-named after various amphibious creatures. A sudden horrible realization will strike you. Either that, or you'll get jam on your shirt.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

You'll be feeling tired and discouraged today, but will be able to raise your spirits by pretending to be a cartoon character. ACME products may be featured, as well.

This may be true.

Except for missing their colors, once I lost my marbles it felt like a load had been lifted.

It is a state of mind, me thinks. Serenity Acres.

Just bitching, why do we need You Tube at top of page, they weight a ton and slow everything down.

I have heard enough of Joe Biden to last a lifetime.

Serenity Acres Sounds magnificent. Are they selling any property there?

Yes, as a matter of fact they are. Inexpensive, extensive views of clouds and sea. Clouds of silver lining, calm seas, and sand dunes with salty air.

Dream Town, on the edge of euphoria.
