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 me...
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...

Hi Darkchylde!
Isn't she a wonderful poet? I love her work. I don't understand what you mean in your last sentence.Will you elaborate please?

Because
by Sarah Teasdale
Oh, because you never tried
To bow my will or break my pride,
And nothing of the cave-man made
You want to keep me half afraid,
Nor ever with a conquering air
You thought to draw me unaware --
Take me, for I love you more
Than I ever loved before.
And since the body's maidenhood
Alone were neither rare nor good
Unless with it I gave to you
A spirit still untrammeled, too,
Take my dreams and take my mind
That were masterless as wind;
And "Master!" I shall say to you
Since you never asked me to.

In the area I live in, very little beauty exists in art anymore. The music
stores sell stuff like Korn or Slipknot & are basically run by teenagers
who couldn't care less about what you're looking for, though my "cute"
looks have gotten some of the guys to actually TRY. These teens are
also the kind who have no idea who the Beatles are unless you start
reciting something like "I am the Walrus...". Then they say something
to the effect of "Oh, yeah. My parents listen to them." Basically, I'd
never be able to find any of her work (or that of any other poet worth
reading) around here. It's a real shame too...

To: Darkchylde
Oh I see well, hon, there is the internet. I'll give you a place to find lots of Sara.
You don't have used book stores??

Very, I'd estimate my town's population to be about... 50.
Not counting cows of course. I've told quite a few people
it's possible to walk through the town in about 5 mins.

Well one good thing for you is internet! You can do a google for Classic poets and find a million of them.

I did that once, got a whole bunch of junk with it. People
who changed the nature of their pages (ie turning it into
a fanpage for someone or something) without changing
the name of the site. Getting sites with quotes by various
people, anything but what I was really looking for. I
haven't bothered looking lately.

Yeah, alas I never got to read very much of her work in school. I always had
to read a poem by someone with whom I was less than impressed. Those
wonderful new "improved by the state" English books that had terrible abstract
poetry, like the museums that are now showing terrible abstract art. It's "better".

Oh I hate most of that new stuff in colleges and poetry magazines. I stopped reading it a long time ago. Nothing like the Classics.

I hate it too, but while at school
(my "fine, christian" school) I
was kinda forced to read it. I'd
complain to the teacher & would
be told I needed a well rounded
view of poetry & english... stuff.

To: All
Good nite poets
May the sweet aroma of Lily of the Valley fill your dreams caress your face tenderly lull you to sleep in the safety of knowing love...
~ Dream a Little ~ Love a Lot ~
I remember the color your hair was... the color of spiced rum With memories of you walking without me in gentle oriental rain Left me with dreams of being lost in your embrace. The peace in your eyes shone through I was lost, lost in your eyes ..........lost in your embrace... Dreams of you at Indian Twilight...

Thank You for Being Our Heroes and Friends
Thank you for being our heroes and friends,
Having the courage to make us secure.
A child needs someone attentive and strong
Nearby to be certain that nothing is wrong.
Kids can get frightened and like to be sure.
You are the saviors, unselfish and pure,
On whom our bright vision of fortune depends,
Unstained as our innocence, peaceful and long.
