~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XIV~

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...

Well, at least I know the words make sense :)

[Colonel_Flagg]

You do wonderful work, dear friend!

[Soaring Feather]

Hiya Colonel, thank you.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Good morning! How are you today?

[Soaring Feather]

I'm doing fine thanks and you?? Lovely day today. A tad over cast, but warm and breezy, late August in NY.

[SAMWolf]

I love parody and satire. :-)

[Radix]

Indeed I fell into a snare

I did not see it laying there

There was it seemed more going on

There I was looking on

I dwelled upon my path at length

Finally I showed no strength

Oh that carefully placed lure

Not again soon I am sure

Inside of me is pensive way

From outside it seems astray

There are those who will not perceive

I am not one to deceive

The truth I always do revere

Yet silence is what serves me here

Words which say nought

Yet still they ought

I consider gravity

And also naiveté

 

 

[Soaring Feather]

In silence of night
when lonely hearts
look for ease
and humanness holds
us all in the palm
of her hand
a cup of kindness
we require
not a sagging quagmire
filled with lures and sparling things
we seek honesty
and hope the best
but sometimes we are left
beating our breast
filled with sorrow, hurt and grief
and loneliness beyond belief.

Beat not thy head upon the rock
take the pen in hand and let it not mock
the truth you vowed, the hope you held
for a future bright, now to be alone in the night
'tis the truth and so sad, that this is a day
when you should be glad.

Silence has it's own rewards.

Good Morning Everybody.

Bluebird



She came to me one sunny day
Landing on my cracked windowsill
Her brightly colored azure coat
Feathers primped neat and unsoiled

She whispers only words I understand
Conveying love, happiness and joy
Gifts offered unconditional
As silent treasures from above

She comes to this mortal man
Tremendously flawed and incomplete
Perhaps her visit must be a mistake
For who am I to garnish such attention?

Then she jumps upon my outstretched hand
With crystal clear intentions to share her soul
Pray – That I never forget
The day that bluebird came to stay

Good morning, Sam.

Ah lovely poem and graphic today. The Bluebird is the state bird of N.Y.


Thanks for everything.

[SAMWolf]

Morning Feather.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone!
Thanks Sam, for opening the Lair doors.

[snippy_about_it]

I've never seen a bluebird in the flesh. :-(

Pretty bird. Thanks for the poem and tunes everyday.

[snippy_about_it]

I'm a day late in responding. Sometimes one liners get lost in all the posts from the Foxhole and I miss the Lair. :-(

I never forget you though or the lovely folks that come to the feather's Lair. :-)

[Soaring Feather]

Happy 1st. Celebration

Well done Poets!

It is with heart felt gratitude and appreciation to all
who have supported this endeavor of an original poetry thread.
While we do not claim to be the first such thread at FR,
we do maintain with pride, poets writing and posting their own work.

We do have the beginning of an Anthology.

Special thanks go to SamWolf.
Sam has faithfully posted a poem, music and Breakfast daily for our enjoyment.

Congratulations Bentfeather! Thank you for running the Lair, a place for poets to share their work and each others company.

Thanks to all the others who have contributed to the Lair.

Thanks for the special mention Feather, but others have contributed their original work here and all I've done is hopefully provide some inspiration for them with my music and "subject for the day" poem.

It's gonna be fun to go back and re-read some of the poems in the anthology.
