No, I am not upset Star. Not to worry. You said what you thought -that it needed something more. I don't always know that.

[Soaring Feather]

Thank you snippy. Hey you're up kinda late aren't you?? LOL

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. I was just about to respond to you and say "what are you doing up so late?" Now you know why I'm so late in the morning. Getting ready to post tomorrow's thread. Sam and I have talked about starting to post around 10 our time rather than staying up til midnight.

[Soaring Feather]

That might work better for you. You both need your rest as you both are so busy.

[StarCMC]

NO!! I wouldn't presume to correct YOU, goddess of verse!! It just hit me funny -- like Is aid, it's all Darksheare's fault! ;o)

[StarCMC]

We just started that with ours, too, Snippy, and I must say, I like it better. I'll be you all will too!! HUGS!!

[snippy_about_it]

Changing the time will get us more sleep. Sam used to post in the mornings early but by then the East coast had been up a couple hours. It's more difficult now that both of us are in the Pacific time zone. So we are thinking on settling on 9:30 or 10:00 most nights.

[StarCMC]

Good for you -- that's 1AM EST right? I think that sounds perfect! :o)

[snippy_about_it]

Yep, 1 AM Eastern. Not to bad considering right now it's 3 AM back east and time for bed!

[StarCMC]

2:24AM here and getting that time for me!! HUGS!!

[Darksheare]

Yes, I tend to have that effect on people..

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Everybody.

The Kitchen Chimney



Builder, in building the little house,
In every way you may please yourself;
But please please me in the kitchen chimney:
Don't build me a chimney upon a shelf.

However far you must go for bricks,
Whatever they cost a-piece or a pound,
But me enough for a full-length chimney,
And build the chimney clear from the ground.

It's not that I'm greatly afraid of fire,
But I never heard of a house that throve
(And I know of one that didn't thrive)
Where the chimney started above the stove.

And I dread the ominous stain of tar
That there always is on the papered walls,
And the smell of fire drowned in rain
That there always is when the chimney's false.

A shelf's for a clock or vase or picture,
But I don't see why it should have to bear
A chimney that only would serve to remind me
Of castles I used to build in air.

LOL

Good morning Sam!!! Really I don't know how you come up with each day's poem, but this one is a hoot, not to mention the graphic to match. I really got a chuckle out of this Frost poem.

Thanks so much for everything! Have a wonderful day.

[SAMWolf]

:-) Found it by accident. It's a Frost poem I never heard of.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, you Darks, nah!

[Darksheare]

You're right, I'm IN-NO-CENT.

Howdy to all at the Dragon Flies' Lair!
Hope everyone's doing well this sweltering summer day.

Beautiful in her
desire
she repulsed a serpent
wrapped
around her shoulders

Her laughing became
soft
She found the serpent's hand
outstretched
and looked away

She love the Greek God
offering apples
