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...

George Gordon Lord Byron (1788-1824)

She Walks in Beauty

 

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

 Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

 

One shade the more, one ray the less,

 Had half impair'd the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

 

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

 So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

 A heart whose love is innocent!

 

Notes:   "She" is Byron's cousin, Mrs. Wilmot, whom he met at a party in a mourning dress of spangled black.

Six White Roses

I bought six white roses
pretended...
they where from you
they burned brown
I turned blue...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this one Ms. Feather! It almost seems to be waiting for a second verse like a comeback or a zinger!! :o)

[StarCMC]

You know, something like....

So I threw them away
Like so much trash.
You keep your stinking flowers
And kiss my a**.

He he he!

(Sorry - I hope you don't mind and I hope you get a snicker!! HUGS!! NO OFFENSE INTENDED MA'AM!)

[Soaring Feather]

Well, it's different from what I usually write. :-)

[SAMWolf]

That's a "catchy" poem.

[Soaring Feather]

Thanks Sam, it's rather odd, but so am I. LOL

[snippy_about_it]

Nice poem feather.
