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...

natural beauty
oregon's coast in winter
sharing the sunset

[Darksheare]

Flurry, I love it.
He fought the 929..

[Conspiracy Guy]

Thanks. I've written about my mom's dish rag, my mom's Christmas trees, my parents' seventh child (Honey, the rat terrier), my dad being an ogre, my children's birthdays, graduations, now wedding on the oldest, my daughter last Friday. Most of my poems are not classy but fun anyway. I've written about most everything and like to be challenged to write a little ryhming poem on short notice. I'm really a frustrated lyricist who can't find a music writer. Lyrics are the easiest.

[Darksheare]

I write gothic horror freeverse.
Sis, Darkchylde, is the rhymer.
I usually write about pain and loss, sometimes mental dysfunction, and nightmares.
Anything other than that is usually a short story.

I have tunes in my head, usually after hearing them in dreams, but I cannot write music worth beans.
So I write the lyrics down, when I can remember them, and wonder how many escape me.
Heck, I posted a few song fragments a few posts back in thread.
I'm not a 'real' poet, so I see real talent and go, "Oooooooh!"

[Conspiracy Guy]

I write some freeverese and a good bit prose. But it is usually dark, exotic, and personal, not proper for public consumption. I haven't tried Kung Fu yet.

winter on the coast
bring a blanket for the ground
I'll have you for warmth

[Darksheare]

I'm not sure some of the dark stuff I write is fit for public flogging, but I've been told some of it is fun.
But, I'll drop it into here and see whether it gets it's deserved "It is DREK!" comment.
*chuckle*

Darksheare, named 'King of Drek and Drivel' four years running!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Sloppy due to distractions. But here you go.

Darksheare

Gothic horror is the choice,
When writing’s to be done.
Needs to pen the pain and loss,
Both or sometimes one.
The darkest fears emerge at night,
They manifest in dreams.
The demons from our deepest thoughts,
Heard in our silent screams.
Fear not the night for it will pass,
I hope I don’t spark fear.
It’s just the scary writing of,
The Artist called Darksheare.

[Darksheare]

Thanks!
It's actually alot nicer than what I write.
Tuna trawl the thread for some of my stuff and see what I mean..
Sis writes some stuff that'll spin heads as well.

Stuff I write, I save to a text file as well as having penned down..

[Conspiracy Guy]

Oh I save everything unless I write it to someone. This of course is about you and now belongs to you. I was writing another ryhmy little ditty about someone I know little about. It is a mental excercise and with everything going on around me at work write now I will not guarantee the meter. I cruise and throw out my net.

[Darksheare]

I usually write what pops into my head, then tinker with it's structure until it makes sense.
Or not, whatever the case may be.

[Conspiracy Guy]

My best work pops in too. I may spend weeks even months toying with it. I keep that work safe because I'm working on a couple of theme books. The little ditties are written on the back of cocktail napkins or written in the sand on the beach, or a reply box on FR or ,,,,

[Darksheare]

Sometimes I get inspiration from music.
Once in awhile I write stuff that isn't supposed to make sense.
And once in awhile I'll write something down, look at it, and then have inspiration.

I don't publish any of my stuff, I don't write enough of it to justify doing so, and there isn't much of a market for semi-gothic style prose.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'll probably never publish either. But I have enough acceptable work to try. I'll make sure the kids know where it all is located in case they want to chase it after I'm gone.

I was once given a book of southern humor poems called "The Road Less Graveled" by a friend who said, "you are much better than this guy." I need to dig it up and see who the publisher is.

[Darkchylde]

Could anything ever be stranger than I?
For I am the bar fly.
Let me have a sip of your pint.
If you don't see me, I know you won't mind.
I'll dally here all night long
& listen to your drunken songs.
I'll just rest here, I won't get caught.
Hey, that bartender has a fly 'SWAT'!

[Darksheare]

I get told once in awhile that what I write isn't teh drek and drivel I feel it to be.
And my sis states that we should probably jointly write and publish.
(I read her stuff, and think that it's better than my demented rambling scribbles.)

Not sure I have the guts to even attempt to publish it.
Heck, it took some arm twisting by a few people before I posted any of it.

[Conspiracy Guy]

When asked my education, I usually respond, Nuisance Major with a Bar Fly minor.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Is it pronouned dark child or something else?

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. good one.
