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...

Good nite Sam and thank you. Sleep well and keep writing. :-)

I'll keep dancing.

[SAMWolf]

Good night Feather. You keep encouraging new poets to develop their talents.

[SAMWolf]

Wow! Snippy isn't the only one on a roll tonight.

[snippy_about_it]

The music, once our guide
Is now our heartbeat

oooh. *sigh*

[snippy_about_it]

The curse of "Speedy Five" and a short attention span. :-)

If you weren't speedy we'd need ten more folks to keep the Foxhole up and running every day. LOL.

[snippy_about_it]

...thanks so much for sharing your work.

I woudn't share it anywhere else! Thank you feather.

[snippy_about_it]

However, snippy and bentfeather have encouraged me to be unafraid.

I remember being afraid too. We have such good friends here and a good place thanks to feather that it does make it easy. We're so glad you joined our 'family' here as well as the Foxhole.

[snippy_about_it]

You're welcome.

[snippy_about_it]

I like the easy to understand poetry that you and Snippy are so good at.

Awww. Thank you Sam.

[snippy_about_it]

My dancer, my friend
my lover, my end

feather this whole thing is great, wow! Dang you're good! LOL....but you knew that. ;-)

[snippy_about_it]

Oh, my darling, it's torture
To need you so much
To possess you, to take you
I beg you for such

A beautiful piece Colonel. A beautiful dance last night. Thank you both. I'm impressed. You guys are good!!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Thanks, Sam .. and good morning. Hope this finds you well.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Thanks, snippy. As you know, this does mean a lot to me. And good morning to both my fine friends :)

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning eveyone!
Looks like the midnight dancer needs to go to bed earlier. LOL

[Colonel_Flagg]

Been there. Did that. < yawn > .. but what a nice feeling!

[Colonel_Flagg]

And the dance was divine .. good morning to you!

[Soaring Feather]

LOL

It was a grand evening Sir.

I did hit the feathers a little after 1:00am. Once I get into the bed and asleep I don't like rollng out unless I have to.

My working years are over with now so I can do that, but there was a time.....

It's snowing here this morning and it's cold.

[Soaring Feather]

This and That:


Benjamin Franklin's autobiography was the best-seller of the year in America in 1794. It was published in England the year before, three years after Franklin's death.

Once I get into the bed and asleep I don't like rollng out unless I have to.

I don't like rolling out even when I *have* to. Birds of a feather, so to speak.

Not snowing here, but it has been below zero since Monday so we're ready for a little warmup. :)

[Soaring Feather]

The sun is trying to peek through here and the temp is 19F.
Below zero, that is cold.

My grandmother came from Finland in 1899, she used to have some old sayings: For January, "As the days begin to lengthen, the cold begins to strengthen. "

I always think about that this time of year. Do you have any Finn settlements around your town?
