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...

Baking Bread
I knead your arms
and flour your back
with smooth silky
strokes and even pressure
rolling with the palms
and strong hands
sore from not being used
and not kneading
I knead the dough
after it has risen
been punched down
and allowed to rise again
in a safe warm place
I knead it again
then after it has rested
for a bit it
gets another kneading
After all the kneading
it's ready to be baked
in a preheated oven
at 350 F
a good steady temperature
to assure a nicely risen
and hollow sounding loaf
of holiday bread
after all the kneading
I need a little kneading!

Hey Trikebuilder!! Season's Greetings to you and yours!
Have you met Colonel Flagg?? Colonel met our Trikebuilder. If you click on Trikebuilders name you will see his wonderful machines.
To: bentfeather
Howdy Colonel Flagg!
If you ever want a camoflaged, armored, and fully gunned (repro I'm afraid) trike as an Urban Assult Vehicle, give me a call! I'll even add in Personal Tactical Beverage Unit (Beer Cooler)and no less then 24 Tactical Beverages of your choice. (Yes, I am a bit insane, nearly ten years in the Navy does that to a guy!)

Too many have forgotten the Reason for the Season. Many don't even know we exchange gifts to honor and celebrate the birth of Christ, and the gifts of the Magi to him. Sadly, too many think of Christmas as a secular holiday, and there are those who don't want to even admit that the holiday is religious in nature. For those who still remember the truth of Christmas, I wish all the best to you and yours. Peace of the Season to you all, and may you find joy in every moment, every smile.

Christmas
White time,
bright time,
with lights draped with loving care.
Tall trees,
green trees,
topped by Angels one and all I say.
Children laugh,
parents laugh,
in wonder at the spirit there.
Church bells,
silver bells,
ringing out the joy of Christs day.
Songs raised,
with hopes raised,
gentle souls reach for others with a smile broad and whole.
Snow down,
drifting slowly down,
covering the earth as if a new world at prime.
Stars shown bright,
childs eyes so bright,
lighting the way into every soul.
Its a Birthday party,
an all souls party,
remembering Jesus on this, his special time.

Thank You Trike for your poem. Yes, indeed it is Jesus Birthday.
On a lighter note......
Well, Trike, you are so busy elsewhere these days and I was lonely. Sooooooooo this Colonel here was looking for company... and you know how it goes.
LOL!! Always so good to have you in The Lair.
My Sailor will always be in my heart! Then there is the Marine, and the Fly boy, and on and on... LOL
To: bentfeather
Hummmmmmmmmmmm, All those poems for women, and still you have time for soldiers, airmen and the like. You truly do have a big heart! (OK, so I'm just a bit jealous)

ROTFLOL!!
Well some of the Marines are kin now departed. Like wise one Sailor. One brother was a Sailor, one a Marine, one uncle a Marine and one a Sailor.
But my heart belongs to The Dragon Fly!! We soar together.
So just keep writing those fabulous poems and keep the windows in The Lair steamy. :-)
To: All
Good night poets.
To my Hebrew friends a song for you.
