~The Dragon Flies' Lair~XVII~
January 9, 2005 | bentfeather and Poets of The Lair

Posted on 01/09/2005 4:58:38 AM PST by Soaring Feather

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...

CAT HAIKUS

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
elevator butt.

I need a new toy.
Tail of black dog keeps good time.
Pounce! good dog! good dog!

The rule for today.
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
Will find in morning.

Grace personified
I leap into the window
I meant to do that

Blur of motion, then-
Silence, me, a paper bag
What is so funny?

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds
Your foot just squashed one.

You're always typing
Well, let's see you ignore my
Sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box
You cannot see me if I
Can just hide my head.

Terrible battle
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a "term paper"?

Kitty likes plastic
Confuses for litter box
Don't leave tarp around

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner

Want to trim my claws
Don't even think about it!
My yelps will wake the dead

I want to be close
To you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper.
Cat to the rescue!

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in the bed, then screams!
My claws aren't that sharp....

Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much"

Litter box not there
You must have moved it again
I'll crap in the sink

The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
time for "Cup Hockey"

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?

Shiny magazines.
So slippery on my paws.
Makes a perfect bed.

Sunlight streams so warm.
Curled up in the glass punch bowl.
Makes my purrs sound soft.

Hiding in the grass.
Watching the small bunny hole.
Toys don't want to play.

Want some tummy rubs!
Yes. It's dark and you're in bed.
That's what you're here for!

Big dumb noisy dog.
Makes noise and scares stuff away.
Hunts should be private!

Soft hands on my fur.
The Pretty One's voice so nice.
Almost like my purr.

Little Pretty One.
Wants to play Dress Up with me.
Not going to happen!

Laundry Day! Hooray!!!
Baskets of warm clothes calling.
Plunge to the bottom!

LOL ~ MM still here but running...

Cats do have a world of their own don`t they! So comical they can be.

I would like to have another cat one day. A Norwegian Forest cat. I have been reading about them for years. There was even a Thread on FR about them recently!

They are beautiful cats and their purr motor is the loudest of all domestic cats, I read. Did you know there are even CD`s out now that are total Cat Purrrr sound? What will they think of next! lol. Purrr yourself to sleep ~~~ ja Uff`da!


...now I go to Work. :)

I don't listen to the Hannity show. I used to watch the show on Fox TV, but have not done so for some time now.

I dislike the shouting all the time.

I've Decked the Tops



I've decked the tops of flying cars
That leaped across the night;

The long and level coaches skimmed
Low, like a swallow's flight.

Close to the sleet-bit blinds I've clung
Rocking on and on;

All night I've crouched in empty cars
That rode into the dawn,

Seeing the ravelled edge of life
In jails, on rolling freights

And learning rough and ready ways
From rough and ready mates.

It`s radu and little Snickers too! :-)

Such a sweet sweet face on little kitty.

Snickers crosses the front legs the same way

my dog used to. I must have two dozen pictures of

her in that same position with face expression

so content, like your Snickers.



Thank you for sharing!

Happy morning :) `your night!` :)

Good morning Bentfeather, and all

Hearts here!



I can hear sounds from all of the

writing this morning, taking us

places...


I was writing last night about

sound and no sound.

There can be such a contrast, as

both journey us to so many places

in our thought. It is amazing how

no sound can do this.


I write with my heart in the

`quiet hours` when there is `no

sound` as much as I sing in the

day well, okay....maybe not Thaaat

Much! ;-)


~ singin in the mornin` ~ singing

in the evening ~ singing at

supper timmmme ~ ~ ~

remember this song?


HaPpY

Yo-Yo ~ Bring you Up ~

when Down ~
