~The Dragon Flies' Lair IV~
November 7, 2003 | bentfeather

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...

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.

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.

You get an A+ for doing, not trying.

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

I hate rules.

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

Overcast

Dark sky, no moon, no stars,

but not without you,

your warmth,

your eyes to light my way.

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.

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...
