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...

How To Do Poetry?
How does one create a poem, a loving artwork of entwined words that sing, and keep it all so relevant, with not a nugatory phrase along the way? Open your senses, and see the world from every angle, let its nuances ring, and let each find its place inside your own mind, until they say what they will say.
Love each word for its quiet majesty, its unique place under the sun, holding to one place, with which you will struggle to find another to entwine. To capture a feeling, an ideal, a bit of memory on parade, sad or fun, and bind it into a story as it were, to share with anyone who reads those lines.
Let the words fill you, find your center, and they will write the poem with your pen, and along the way you will discover their magic growing softly in you. Dont I say write for others, but only for yourself, for that is what a poets been, a vessel holding the magic, and as surprised and in wonder as the reader in review.
Be not afraid to try, for along the way, they will rise in you and flow, into forms and shape your thoughts with gentle care, sweet partnership. Open your heart and soul, and let the words so softly take control and go, and along the way, you will discover that you too have authorship.
It is your heart, your trials and tribulations, your life that make the words, and it is your soul that will shape them into the poems, a part of you. Let them fly as they will like to heights you can not reach, your verbal birds, flying across the sky of a world only you have ever seen or know as you do!

Memories
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine
Quiet thought come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories,
Sweet memories
Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine,
Memories, memories, sweet memories

Yes, sneak move in the night! LOL
You have lots of snow? We have about 8 to 10 inches here from yesterday?
To: bentfeather
We had almost a foot, but it kinda compacted and congealed down into an icy glop that covers everything.
Thankfully, it was almost entirely shoveled off before it congealed where we don't need it.

My memory bank is built day by day
whether you are near
or far away
I hold you in my heart
each and every day
forever we shall shape
our love this way...
To be near you would be ideal
... to look into your eyes
to touch and to feel
your bearded morning face
and see your sleep rumbled
hair would be a grand treasure
trove, one that I can bare
I loved you yesterday
I love you today
I'll love you tomorrow
for me there is no other way...
