~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XIII~
June 13, 2004 | bentfeather and Poets of The Lair

Posted on 06/13/2004 8:15:45 PM PDT by Soaring Feather

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...

It turns out that I was hiding a case of pneumonia underneath my illness.

"Watch it" is an understatement.

Prayers offered for a full recovery.

Yes you must be careful. I don't have a pneumonia poem. But I wrote this one a while back.

Cataracts

I’m glad you’re seeing better now,
But surgery seems silly.
I guess I’m just a simpleton,
A dummy, a hillbilly.
It seems to me if you can’t see,
The Cataract’s the deal.
I’d trade that gas hog in right now,
And get an Oldsmobile.

Love's Music



The music plays,
Hauntingly beautiful,
It plays of love.
It must,
For my heart cries
And laughs...
And soars...
And dies...
I open my ears
And close my eyes.
The world stops,
And yet...
Time flies

Welcome.
Tricky stuff the viral type.
Haven't had that kind yet, but had pneumonia often enough to know taht the stuff isn't something to trifle with.
Keep well rested and keep an eye on yourself there.
(Don't do what I do. I try to avoid doctors like the plague.. bad idea.)

Good to hear that the meds are helping.
Seems there's some lung crud making the rounds lately.

Lovely poem this morning. Thanks for tunes, coffee, donuts and poetry. Have not heard The Hanging Tree in a long time.

Thanks, Sam. I'm doing my best. They put me on prednisone, they say for just a couple of weeks. So they are taking it seriously, in any event.

Maybe I'll try and write one, then. I don't know if I can be too lighthearted about it, but we'll see what happens!

Pnuemonia is serious. You follow the doctors orders, I know how guys can be. ;-)

Humor mixed with Faith have gotten me through a lot of tough scrapes.

I once had a motorcycle accident that broke both my legs, my right wrist, my right collarbone, and 4 ribs on my right. I told the ambulance driver as they loaded me, "Please drive slow and watch out for blue-haired ladies in Caddy's running stop signs. And don't say anything funny, I hurt like s@@@."

What are we going to do with you? You really must take care of yourself better. :-)

Pneumonia? My goodness. I recall walking around with that unknown at the time, it's awful. Lots of fluid and cough on purpose to get rid of that stuff. Don't be late on the meds and take them religiously til gone!

Rest, rest rest! Am I going to have to come up there and take care of you?!

Hi.
On the foxhole thread, I noticed the dreaded words "Corduroy road", thought of Ohio, and INSTANTLY thought, "Hey, snippy might remember those!"
