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...

It's pronounced "dark-child", although
I have yet to hear anyone pronounce it.
It doesn't really matter to me, my brother
pointed out it could be pronounced
"dark-shield", which doesn't sound half bad...
in other words, I don't exactly care.

[snippy_about_it]

I like it Flurry. That's our Darksheare for sure!

[Darkchylde]

Thanks, this is actually the most poetry I've
written in the course of a few days. I don't
usually have so much running through my head.

Hey, whattya think of this?

You make me want you.
I've lost my self control now,
let me taste your lips.

I once read 3 of my poems to a convention crowd of telecom weinies about 3,000 or so in Dallas in 1989. The work was on a telecom theme and I got 3 standing ovations. Then I did my 15 minute dog and pony show. Afterward I received more than a few drinks and a few poemist groupie invitations (I took the drinks and graciously turned down the poemist groupies). The attention is intoxicating as was the Jack Daniels. It reminded me of the band I had in the early 70s when I was in the USAF. Women go nuts over singers and musicians. We were all married and I kind of preferred to have someone like me for my humor and wit rather than my singing voice. We packed the house every weekend out in Wichita, Kansas home of the 3.2 beer. My keyboard player and my lead guitarist were killed in a car accident the rest of us lost interest after that and went back to our home states after serving. I got too busy raising kids and never tried to get back into it.

[Darksheare]

Went to a figure drawing and poetry day near where I live.
Did some excellent sketches, wandered for a bit, and almost got picked up (literally) by a grup of female artists at the same gig as I.
*chuckle*
The missus got mildly peeved, but I did tell her what the day entailed before we got there.

Someday I'll have to scan the best image out of that group of sketches.
Not that it's fit for public show or anything.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Well I needed to know for future reference in case I write a Darkchylde rhymy ryhmy (sp) poem. I aint got time fer spill chicken.

[Conspiracy Guy]

He thinks I was too nice.

[Darksheare]

Well, maybe I should stick one of my gothic nightmare style short stories to illustrate?
*chuckle*

[Darkchylde]

What if you write a poem that doesn't
properly describe me? I've only posted
my "nicer" poetry, not the stuff that
would garner funny looks or some Prozac.

Darksheare

[Darksheare]

I don't know how I manage to do that.
I just seem to be blessed with this ability to post to a thread, and watch it abruptly stop moving.
I guess my writ is permanent thread aneasthetic.
Or maybe thread Sominex?

*Thread killer! You are hereby BANISHED to the Nexus of Sominex!*
Maybe that should be a tagline?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Flurry silly prose.

Nothing

Overlooking the vastness,
I am awe stricken by the size of it.
My gaze turns to a sudden rustle,
But nothing is there.
I try to recall my past, my youth,
No memories come to me.
My thoughts turn to future,
Which I cannot imagine.
Suddenly a thought causes me to wonder.
Can wind actually be broken?

[SAMWolf]

LOL! It's a gift some people have. :-)

[Conspiracy Guy]

I read the monitor one and it is very good. Phone is making me crazy.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I can imagine. But I always limit myself to the details I have. I am so distracted right now I can't think.

[snippy_about_it]

You really need to control your bouncing. At least amongst poetry threads. You're confusing us. LOL!

[Darksheare]

Like some women I know having a 'frigid field' which they can turn on and off at will?
Or a 'Zone of Negation' that resides inside some politicians heads?

[snippy_about_it]

One can't be too nice about Darksheare. ;)

[Darksheare]

Bouncing like an insane superball is kinda fun.
Sorry about my confusing bouncing.

[snippy_about_it]

Come home, we need input from a real poet. LOL! We miss you.
