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 guide
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...

We're glad to have you here. It is a wonderful place just waiting for us whenever we want.

[SAMWolf]

Darn. Everyone writes poetry but me! Nice Colonel_Flagg.

[snippy_about_it]

Now SAM, you've written some haiku that's good. You can't help it if you don't have the soul of a .... oh, never mind. LOL.


You have many other wonderful qualities :)

[SAMWolf]

You have many other wonderful qualities :)

I do?

[snippy_about_it]

LOL

How do I love thee
Let me count the ways....

You don't really want me to list them do you?

[SAMWolf]

Short list. LOL

[snippy_about_it]

charming

[SAMWolf]

See I told you it was a short list, LOL

[Soaring Feather]

[snippy_about_it]

I thought you were requesting the short list. LOL. Just look at the definition;

"a quality or combination of qualities that is wholly attractive and irresistible"


See, that covers all your qualities. :)

So there.

[SAMWolf]

My stuff wasn't as good as the others and it's just mostly mediocre haiku. But I should get an "A" for at least trying, all the encouragement I got at the Belve helped me at least try and for that I'm thankful.

[Soaring Feather]

You get an A+ for doing, not trying.

I don't do Haiku, or some of the other forms of poetry.

I hate rules.

[Soaring Feather]

or some of the other forms of poetry. =any form other than free verse.

[SAMWolf]

Snippy is really good at prose and you're good at free form. Haiku worked for me.

The Moor

A hollow whispering

on the moor

and 

shadowy wind tunes

of your love 

lies forgotten, etched 

inside my empty night

[Old Sarge]

Overcast

Dark sky, no moon, no stars,

but not without you,

your warmth,

your eyes to light my way.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Oh, my goodness. You paint a vivid mental picture with your words. :)

It appears that you've had the same thoughts I have had from time to time. Believe it or not, that's a comforting thing to know.

[Soaring Feather]

Nice work Sarge.
Colonel, please join in on the writing.
Sarge, met Colonel Flagg

Cloudy Skies
like the color of
your eyes
moody blue
without you...

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You Colonel.
