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...

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

There's quite a few poets who post here that do that. Get a lot of warm, fuzzies on this thread.

Thanks Feather.

Seasonal Dichotomy

I hear the wind howl across the frozen land,
and I dream of a Summer day along the river.
As icicles edge the roof line with crystal trim from Winter’s hand,
yet I hear the soft song of bubbling waters over the encroaching shivers.

I smell the dust hanging in the air just before a rain, and it teases me,
nothing at all like chill scentless air bare of hidden allure.
The Summer Dream I call it, haunting me so completely,
like I was walking down that quiet road, a evening tour.

Oh to pace off that road again in shirt sleeves and shorts to the river’s edge,
and sit on Miller’s Bridge and splash my feet with total joy.
Instead I sit here and dream, yet plan ahead and make my pledge,
that for a brief but wondrous moment, I can be that lucky boy!

Good one Trike.

Funny how in winter we dram of summer days and in summer we remember the winter ones.

I'd tell everything I know to get them to stop playing Wayne!

Good Tuesday morning to everyone in The Lair!

Hi Trike,

Always so nice to read your work.

Your poem evokes many strong images, such as smelling the dust in the air before a storm.

[SAMWolf]

James Brown would get me to talk.

Good Morning Everybody.

Saddam I am
(in the style of Dr. Seuss)



Where would you hide that sly desert fox?
Would you hide Saddam in a box?
Yes, oh yes, a hole in the ground!
Deep in a hole, that's where he was found!
Into a rat hole, his legs he did cram!
Yes, we found him closed up like a dam!
I think we will teach him one thing or two.
I'm sure that on something we'll give him to chew.
For a year, maybe ten, or a hundred and fifty.
Solitary confinement forever, now that would be nifty!
So we have him, we have the big king of the pond
He will not get away, he cannot post bond.
So that is the end of his rule as a tyrant,
And now we can again focus on Kobe Bryant.

Just made it through the tunes for the afternoon. Thanks.

No kidding

I was imagining you
here in my shadow
under a starless world
inhaling love
breathing you into existence.
You'll be my love in the end,
is desire exhaled?

Poet Robert Browning wrote, "'Tis not what man does
that exalts him, but what man would do!"

[snippy_about_it]

What a thing to wake up to huh?

Ewww. I had to look at a picture of a slaughtered pig to get that image out of my mind. LOL. Goodness does prevail. I managed to shake both those images off!

shh...quiet...close eyes...ahhh, now I'm thinking of the image I want to wake up to. That's better.

Don't do that again!

I'm fond of that poem as well, I just
wish I'd written it. Unfortunately, that's
not the kind of poetic talent I have.
