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...

Lat's = Let's

I knew that. ;)

Those at least aren't "dark". I think I'll challenge you to writing a happy poem. As short as you like. What do you say?

[Darksheare]

I think the happy stuff hides from me until I sleep.
'Cause that's when stuff like that comes out.
Some of it is bittersweet, and some makes no sense to me.
(Had a few country-ish sounding ones get stuck in my skull. And to me it looks like gibberish.)

Maybe the happy stuff hides because it's scared ' me?
*chuckle*

[Darksheare]

I'll give it a shot, not sure what the result will be.
At the moment I have no inspiration poetry/song wise.
But I do have ideas for drawings.
Unfortunately, items needed for the drawing are unavailable.

[Darksheare]

A song that I like by a really weird band.
Off their album 'wax ecstatic'.

Sponge - Velveteen


Deluxe, sublime
Gigantic for all time and Space
I wish for you the stars bow down
I wish for you their infinite Crown
In Velveteen I will surround
With Velveteen in your name
In Velveteen I will surround
I'll keep this Velvet in your name
I'll keep this Velvet from the Rain
So long - Sleep well
Your purity speaks well - as you lay
With all these flowers in your bed
With all these flowers you had lent Away
In Velveteen I will surround
With Velveteen in your name
In Velveteen I will surround
I'll keep this Velvet in your name
I'll keep this Velvet in your name
I'll keep this Velvet in your name
I'll keep this Velvet from the Rain

Take your time. :)

A long lonely time
I do hunger for your touch
The song in my heart

[SAMWolf]

That's a good song to hold in your heart.

[Trikebuilder]

"Damn, you sure you don't live in Oregon. Replace Somali's with Mexicans and that describes us to a "T"."


Well what did you expect with all this liberal 'nation building' along UN lines, beginning to think America needs the UN & liberals the same way an anorexic needs syrup of ipecac! What if we start an organization to form something more conservative and call it something catchy like the Conservative States of America, I can even get us a flag with CSA on it from a small museum here?

[SAMWolf]

Let's grab Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Northern California, and throw all the non-conservatives out. Go back to the Founders Vision

CSA sounds like a great idea. :-)

[Trikebuilder]

Think we can find others ready for a conservative life? By the way, why don't we deport libs all to california, the land of shake and bake, fruits and nuts?

[SAMWolf]

Oh Yeah I'm sure we could find a few. W

We'd have to empty most of the Willamette Valley first, most of Libs live there. California or the New England States would be good to send them too. Don't really care where they go just so they're gone.

[Trikebuilder]

Sort of an America for the Americans (domestic and LEGAL immigrants) I like it, very catchy! And who’d care if we sent them all to California, it could fall off into the sea and we wouldn’t have to get too excited, Nevada would make great beachfront property!

As soon as you two create this place, let me know where to show up, my bags are already packed!!

[Darksheare]

I will.
But first, some inspiration is needed.
Hmmm.. where to get inspiration.

[snippy_about_it]

That's a good song to hold in your heart

Yep.

a song in my heart
music is good for the soul
memories of us

[snippy_about_it]

Hmmm.. where to get inspiration.

Memories of good times with someone you love? Laughter with a friend? The fact that we woke up today?

LOL. I hope it's not too hard to find. :)

[Darksheare]

All my good memories are bittersweet, actually.
Hmm..

[snippy_about_it]

All my good memories are bittersweet..

Oh, I think that's true of most of us. We'd have to live in a disneyland world to be happy all the time, wouldn't be real. Real is good. It means we're alive to be able to experience both joy and sadness.

Try to write about just the sweet part, stopping at the bitter. ;)

[Darksheare]

Roses wouldn't be worth the toil without the thorns.
Yes, point taken.
*chuckle*

[snippy_about_it]

Darksheare bounces in
I look forward to his *grin*
He makes me smile



see how easy that was!
