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...

I wish I could write romance, sometimes,

I wish you could too. It's good for the soul, but it can get you into trouble too. LOL.

[Darksheare]

That's true!

[Soaring Feather]

Good Morning Sam, everyone!
I have some shopping to do today, will be back later on.

[SAMWolf]

Morning Snippy.

You write poetry so well, who would have thought that someone who said "I'm not a poet" could write such beautiful poetry.

[Darksheare]

Morning, good luck shopping.

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Everybody.

Dragonfly Pond



As I lay in the cool, moist sand, mesmerized
Watching the chain of events unfold around me.
Water skeeter is skating across the water
while the honeybees go about their days work pollinating the blackberry blossoms.

As I lay in the cool, moist sand, watching
The pesky mosquitoes take twice their weight in blood each time they strike
while trout hides quietly in the shadows
and frog hops onto a rock to say hello.

As I lay in the cool, moist sand, watching
The stifling heat brings with it the fragrance of blossoms
and the sweet smell of uncut hay.

As I lay in the cool, moist sand, watching
A pair of dragonflys arrive to perform a ballet
Flitting to and fro, pirouting like two ballerinas
landing gently on the water, wings slowly pulsating in the sun.

As I lay in the cool, moist sand, watching
a sow bug come plodding along with its hard shell and many legs
but, my stomach growls hungrily
unwilling, I say goodbye to my friends

That's a different version of 'Little Darlin' than I'm used to. Hmmm, must be an older version although I thought the one I knew was old. Ha!

Nice poem, abrupt ending I think. Pretty graphic.

[snippy_about_it]

Shopping again, more jewelry?

[snippy_about_it]

..who would have thought...

Morning SAM. Yep, who would have thunk it. LOL.

Once poet bentfeather said I didn't need to rhyme I was set free!!! A monster created, writing everyday, posting most of it. Help, somebody stop me!!! :)

[snippy_about_it]

Where are my manners today. I forgot to thank you for the grand compliment on my writing.

Thank you SAM, I'm glad you find it beautiful and enjoy it.

HINDIWORK?!

I knew there was another reason for
that statue of Kali in your closet!

Catch the Wind - Donovan

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your lovin' mind.

To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while
Behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing,
'T would make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy,
Diddy diddy diddy dee dee dee.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears,
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be
And long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

I have that song on tape. It's on my british
sixties tape to be exact. It also has Do Wah
Ditty, As Tears Go By & You Really Got Me
(by The Kinks, NOT Van Halen). I'm actually
partial to Roy Orbison, The Beatles early
music, The Everly Brothers, The Righteous
Brothers, Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton ( when
he sang his own music, not covers), The
Shirelles, Patsy Cline & Dusty Springfield.

*sigh* Such name dropping from a wee one...

[Darkchylde]

Oh, yes...
I forgot The Fleetwoods (especially the songs
"Mr. Blue" & "Come Softly To Me"), The Del Vikings
("Come Go With Me"), The Hollies, The Paris Sisters
("I Love How You Love Me") & other such things.

Kresh'Kali the all devouring shall dominate the wulrd!
Shiva shall bolt them with livid lightnings!
And I shall draw them all!

You're welcome.
