The Dragonflies' Lair 2
Poets, Friends, | November 16, 2014 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 11/16/2014 2:42:38 PM PST 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...

Awoke this morning it’s 2015
looked into the mirror
more wrinkles are seen
life continues without my permission
while I roll along just a wishin’

That is the truth! We do have the furnace running, a coal stove burning in the dining room and I have a propane heater in my room. Still cold.

Whoa, that is cold!

It got down right cold here last night and continues into the day. I went outside about 30 minutes ago, it was 22. One good thing — the wind has stopped and the blizzard is over. The blizzard lasted over 24 hours. Wind was howling about knocked the house over. Now we deal with the ugly cold.

Flying Carpets

The Flying Carpets go sailing by
as they float along in the great expanse of sky,
some made of silk and some made of wool
all beautiful and colorful,
with designs that go back to ancient times
to those that have distinctive lines,
a fun trip to be had is for sure
while you sit there and take the city tour,
to see sights you had not learned in school
to some that would be “way cool”,
a pull on the carpet’s left side would turn the carpet to the right
and amaze the passengers without fright,
a lift of the front will make it rise
as it lifts higher and higher in to the skies,
to reduce speed you push down on both sides
this slows the air current to the underside,
while speeding up the air current above
then all of a sudden you soar like a dove,
the set-up for landing the carpet droops the front down
as it starts a gentle glide slope toward the ground,
on final approach the carpet begins to hover
as passengers get off and run for cover,
because the landing site can be anyplace the pilot so desires
the street, a rooftop or alongside a buildings spires,
cheap transportation and good for the environment to keep it pure
it has no meter and no need for fossil fuel to be sure,
just a great imagination is a good as it can get
as I set off into the sunset on my Flying Carpet.
