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 guides
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

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...

Very nice poem by Frost this morning.

I don't know how to explain it but I like the poetry you select that is more military or heroic or 'down to earth'.

I don't know the correct term but it's not all girly and flowery although a love poem now and then is good. Naturally, as a woman I like a good romantic poem now and then. However, because of the Foxhole I think I'm leaning more toward military/battle/patriotic ones as a favorite.

;)

Hope I made sense.

A woman who isn't into "mushy" poems!!!!

Well now don't make me out to be a freak of nature. You know I don't like to shop either. LOL!

I'll take your comment as a compliment of course. ;)

But let there be no mistake, I am a feminine creature, and I can be a romantic. I just have different tastes that most and I happen to like your poetry choices.

So there!

I almost missed the music. Can't listen til I get home anyway. :(

How about this one.

Battle At Sea

The view I see while standing here upon this rolling deck reminds me of the yesteryears gone now in memories. I'm brought to bear upon the time when as a boy I stood, and felt the grapeshot striking, and heard the wounded plea.

My mind goes back to list as well to the thunder of the guns that roared into the silence of the dark and clouded night. I shudder still to think about the mortal hell I knew as ship passed ship, and raked as well, with all their horrid might.

In fear still felt within my heart I contemplate the loss of friend and foe alike as the fight went on and on. Then as the battle wound at last unto the morning glow, a sickening sight I came to see as the day began to yawn.

The ships had limped away at last, away from battle's test, and as I gazed in horror on the agonizing scene, I could see the dead and dying as they shared a common ground among the ragged sailcloth and the torn and ruptured beams.

Then I knew my boyhood times were forever done and gone for I could hear them crying to their mothers and their God as I aged a hundred years in that awful, screaming dawn.

[SAMWolf]

I'm having a great time living in my own private house with three bathrooms. I have three bathrooms too. Unfortunately I also have 3 females living with me so I still can't ever get to one.

[Soaring Feather]
