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...

He jumped and twitched as his brain noisily melted inside his skull.
For some reason, those words echoed through his head as he took a full brunt hit of lightning straight to the chest.
That wouldn't have been so bad, if not for the fact that the spark was intended for someplace else other than his thorax....
He groaned as he picked himself up off the ground, smoke rising from him in copious amounts.
Strangely, he thought of bacon. Shouts told him that people were shocked that he was even moving.
"Shall I dance to show that I'm not dead?" he drunkenly said.
No one moved.
No one breathed.
And then the a bell rang and woke him up.

His coworkers jumped inside their locked cubicles when they heard his horrified screams.

After a while you learn to ignore them and they're just background noise.

[Darksheare]

I'd worry when they start with the "Brains! Brains!" bit.

[Soaring Feather]

hmmmmmmmm here I am Dark!

Well the perm went well. What is going on in your head??

Do you still have the 500 pound monster sleeping there??

LOL

[Soaring Feather]

Sun and planets
crossed his moon
tonight... our time
lights a fire
stars awaken their watcher

[Darksheare]

500 pound monster fully awake and refusing to go down without a major fight.
Ugh.

[snippy_about_it]

I've been tempted on an occaision or two to 'be really odd' and dye my hair black with electric blue highlights...

LOL. I had already pictured you that way!

[Soaring Feather]

Our Trike is working some very long, hard, hours. He posted this one this morning after doing a long haul.

Often Trike does come in early morning hours.

*Laughs*
My hair color currently is a deep chestnut with slight red overtones.
If I sit in the sun too long I end up as a redhead.
And if I stay out of the sun, my hair looks black, but I end up with ghosty white skin..
No wonder one of my neighbors held a crucifix at me.

[snippy_about_it]

I think I forgot to say "Thank you". :)

It was Ezra Pound who said,
"Literature is news that stays news."

Today is Monday, Dec. 1,2003.
The moon is waxing.
The morning stars are Jupiter and Saturn.
The evening stars are Venus, Mars,
Mercury, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto.

This and That!


MAH-JONGG

Gin and canasta are both descended from an ancient Chinese game, mah-jongg, which is more than a thousand years old.


FLAMING POLLEN

Most plant pollen is highly inflammable. It will ignite
and explode when placed on an extremely hot surface. In the early days of modern theater, artificial lightning
was produced by throwing pollen grains of the club moss onto a hot shovel.

I've been looking over some old haiku we wrote and wrote a new one using two lines from the old.

winter on the coast
our time has finally come
third time for ourselves

Peter Gabriel

[Soaring Feather]

--Answer to "WHO AM I?"
Peter Gabriel. On March 17, 1971, Gabriel married Jill Moore and the couple had two daughters, Anna and Melanie. During this time, his band Genesis became more popular from albums such as "Selling England By the Pound" and the "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".

Gabriel split from the band, which now included Phil
Collins, and released a well-regarded self-titled solo record in 1977. Gabriel's marriage was on shaky ground throughout the 1980s. Gabriel began a friendship with actress Rosanna Arquette that later blossomed into a love affair.

Meanwhile, Gabriel's wife had an affair with his producer and the couple separated in 1987. However, it was at this time that Gabriel was enjoying his greatest success as an artist. Following his massive success with "So", Gabriel recorded the score and
soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's "Last Temptation of Christ" and then finally produced a follow-up studio album in 1992 with "Us".
