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 think that would be a good song to play over loud speakers at Gitmo.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Sounds like an excellent plan, that and "Dankeschoen"

[Conspiracy Guy]

Gee I hate Wayne Newton.

A little Springer Spaniel,..

I suppose that I'll have to take your word for that!

[Radix]

Dude,

They could make a film from the imagery that you present in words.

[Radix]

Sadly, I didn't write this poem... It's one of my favorite poems ever written.

It is a good one, in my opinion.

[Radix]

To all the rocks in your life...

I am going to share that one with a few friends. Thank you.

Dear Mirror on the wall
You see things beyond

Things behind, shielded from view
Irony in reflection, a look untrue

Left is right and right is left

The Old Sarge revered from here
Seems to know well a common fear

Dreams are known by silly men
The spectres are but a nuisance

Stay the path
Spare the wrath

Know, that in this place
Harmony, and special Grace

[Conspiracy Guy]

OK

[Radix]

I have a friend who raises and breeds Springer Spaniels..

She is a beautiful woman, and I treasure her greatly. Her babies (read Springer Spaniels) are so big, in all of the images that I have ever seen.

My impression has always been that Springers don't come in the small size.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Compared to my Labmix they are small. Night!

Two caterpillars are sitting on a leaf when a butterfly
zooms by, startling them.

One turns to the other and says, "Boy, you'll never get ME up in one of those things."

[Colonel_Flagg]

Come my tears rising within
a crimson flame of love
arching under a celestial sky
softly desiring eyes o violet's darkness
breathing in shudders

Magnificent. :)

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You Colonel. :-)

[Colonel_Flagg]

Your words have this habit of making me want to go drink Scotch someplace. :)

[Soaring Feather]

Oh my Colonel, is this a good thing? :-)

[Colonel_Flagg]

Can be. Sometimes your words make me wonder what might have been. :)

[Soaring Feather]

Good night poets.

He should bring those Gitmo captives to their knees.
