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

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...

Laura is fine. We are fine. But stay too busy.

What You Are To Me



I am a rose, you are my thorns,
clutching to me, protecting me.

I am the sun, you are my rays,
helping me to shine and to be all that I can.

I am a lake, you are my water,
filling me with ideas, dreams, and hopes for the future.

I am a tree, you are my leaves,
sharing who and what I am
and becoming an important part of my life.

I am a heart, you are my beat,
beating rhythmically to my happiness,
my fear, my sadness, my excitement

I am me and you are with me,
to share all that I am,
to share life, love, and happiness.

Always.

Bernice Ellrick

Thank You Sam, we can never have enough Flags flying in The Lair. Johnny Cash did a wonderful thing recording this song. Johnny is sadly missed this year.

I Am Old Glory

I Am Old Glory: For more than ten score years I have been the
banner of hope and freedom for generation after generation of Americans.

Born amid the first flames of America's fight for freedom,
I am the symbol of a country that has grown from a little group
of thirteen colonies to a united nation of fifty sovereign states.

Planted firmly on the high pinnacle of American Faith
my gently fluttering folds have proved an inspiration to untold millions.

Men have followed me into battle with unwavering courage.

They have looked upon me as a symbol of national unity.

They have prayed that they and their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness, which have been granted
to every American as the heritage of free men.

So long as men love liberty more than life itself;
so long as they treasure the priceless privileges bought with the
blood of our forefathers; so long as the principles of truth, justice
and charity for all remain deeply rooted in human hearts, I shall
continue to be the enduring banner of the United States of America.

Originally written by Master Sergeant Percy Webb, USMC.

Summer of Tears

 Summer of tears
a waterfall horizon
and a copper dawn in vapor
touching rosebushes at sundown.

In the marrow of my bones
you are my love and desire
I am missing your
soul and soft guitars...

Dawn Rainbow

A rainbow only bounces back to you the color in the light.
You get something quite special when the circumstance is right.
An early morning shower when the sun had hardly shown,
Caused the rainbow to get dressed in haste, in colors not its own.

Full golden was the rainbow, with neon at the edge,
As the sun was rising sleepily from beyond its earthen ledge.
I had never seen a rainbow that was monochrome like that,
But I remember vividly just where I was and where it sat.

There was no gold to find down on the ground beneath the bow,
For all of it was utilized in putting forth the glow.
No doubt you think I’m daft to even say I saw the sight,
For no one else has ever seen a rainbow in dawn’s light.

Lovely poem Bob. I never thought about a rainbow at dawn. Nice twist.

Good Morning, Miss Feather.

What news from your publisher? A whirlwind of activity at glacial speed?

Good morning Bob. I have heard from them. They needed some added info. This is good news in that they are working on the manuscript.


Yesterday, I received word that another of my poems had been chosen for publication in an anthology. I am not doing anything with it however, I have my own book. :-)

Have you any news from your publisher?
