~The Dragon Flies Lair III~

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...

Ohhhh, I know it sounds terrible but I like it. Making fresh now. That will put a little zip in my thinking.

The solar flare got through my tin foil hat and now I am a Liberal. I wrote this to prove it.

The Liberal Slant.

The planes on nine eleven,
Were piloted by him.
The first Gulf War and Viet Nam,
He’s to blame for them.
Korea and sure World War Two,
Once again his fault.
And in there too, Geraldo found,
He looted Capone’s Vault.
Extinction of the dinosaurs,
And yes the Big Bang too.
George Dubaya Bush, he did it all,
And he blames me and you.

I don't know. I tell people it is a gift or a curse. I just get an inspiration and write. I need to use these powers for good and not evil.

Yes, that's so true about the gift being used for evil. I can write very dark stuff, but don't really like going in the direction.

I think dark but work hard to write light. I call myself a poetic humorist.

First Snow

By dusk the snow is already partially melted. There are dark patches where the grass shows through, like islands in the sea seen from an airplane. Which one is home? The one I left as a child? They all seem the same now. What became of my parents? What about all those things I started and never finished? What were they? As we get older we become more alone. The man and his wife share this gift. It is their breakfast: coffee and silence, morning sunlight. They make love or they quarrel. They move through the day, she on the black squares, he on the white. At night they sit by fire, he reading his book, she knitting. The fire is agitated. The wind hoots in the chimney like a child blowing in a bottle, happily.

Why is it I am so comfortable with the wolf??
Does my howl resound in his ears?
Does the very soul of wolf and human have something in common??

I don't know the answers to this ponderings just the questions.
