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...

Sometimes, in writing, a person can try long and hard to find a certain emotion and then watches as another person just goes out and does it.

So you have done to me. Well done!!!

Good Morning Everybody.

The Flower Boat



The fisherman's swapping a yarn for a yarn
Under the hand of the village barber,
And her in the angle of house and barn
His deep-sea dory has found a harbor.

At anchor she rides the sunny sod
As full to the gunnel of flowers growing
As ever she turned her home with cod
From George's bank when winds were blowing.

And I judge from that elysian freight
That all they ask is rougher weather,
And dory and master will sail by fate
To seek the Happy Isles together.

WOO HOO #600 for the Colonel!!!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Why, thank you! I trust you're well today too. Sort of a gray morning here, which means working seems just a little easier. :)

[Soaring Feather]

Grey morning here, too. I am well, thank you.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss of KC. Many people don't understand the grief felt upon losing a pet. I think all of us here do and we are sad for Laura. It was sweet of you to stay with him, she will always love you for that I'm sure. Only time heals. Your poem is very touching. Thank you for sharing with the Lair.

Good morning feather.

[snippy_about_it]

Nice Frost poem and good music this morning. Thanks Sam.

[snippy_about_it]

Good light hearted poetry this morning, are you feeling well? ;-)

[Conspiracy Guy]

We can talk about him and laugh now. But at the time it was hard.

[snippy_about_it]

Beautiful poetry Darkchylde, thanks.

[Darkchylde]

Thanks. I had been in one of those writing slumps
for a while & recently came back... It feels good
when your writing is appreciated or is inspiring.

[Darkchylde]

It's just good to be writing again. It's difficult
when you have a thought, but just can't write.

[snippy_about_it]

I know that feeling well. I haven't been able to write for months. :-(

Sometimes there is just too much going on in my head to think straight. :-)

[Darkchylde]

Sometimes I just write one line down. If I'm
lucky, seeing it on paper triggers more thoughts
& I end up writing a poem. If not, it ends up one
thought on paper never to be heard from again.

[Darkchylde]

Inspiration is one of those good things
that goes around & comes around.
