~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XIX~
March 24, 2005 | ~bentfeather ~ Poets of The Lair~

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...

Morning.
Found something I wrote two years ago and never saved.
:-/



Tell me a story,
tell me a dream.
Tell me something
to make me believe
again.

Morning!!


Great!!
Now maybe you can work on it some more to flesh it out although, it stands alone just fine.

Just a suggestion.

Birdie, Birdie



Birdie, Birdie, in the sky,
Why’d you do that in my eye?
I don’t care—I won’t cry,
But gee, I’m glad that cows don’t fly!

I Wish I Could Find My Way Back Home

If I could just find my way back home;
The signpost faded, the trail is grown
Up with briars in vines and thorn.
I thought it wouldn't be this soon
That it would take away the view
Of purple mountain majesty,huddled masses yearning liberty
And words that say just what they mean
Before the laws perversity
Of truths we hold self evident
And broken laws;not only bent
By those we loaned the public trust,
Black robes drunk with powers lust
Caprice elects their tool of choice
None other else to have a voice.
So here I stand perplexed and lost,
Confounded as I count the cost.
Where is the straight and narrow road
That's broad enough to take us home?
But narrow so as we can see
Right from wrong, and purity,
Of truths we held, but now seem gone?
How can we now find our way home?

Good morning Ms. Feather!

SOARING by Jolene Anderson

We soar above the crowd
We fly above the rest
We know our place in time
Up above the clouds and fear
We soar in the LIGHT
We know who we are
Would you join us
Let go of your fear
Let your LIGHT shine
Come soaring with us
We know our place in time
We know who we are
We are the LIGHT

When I Am Really Old

 
Author: Zona Kiesewetter

 


When I Am Really Old


I’ll go live with my five sons and
bring them so many joys
It will be fun living with
each of my five little boys.
I will write on the walls
and scuff up the floors
I will run in and out with-
out closing the doors
I will hide toads in the pantry
and socks under my bed
Whenever they scold me I will
just hang my head
I’ll run and and jump
and I’ll putter away
the time for  doing
my chores every day
I will holler and talk when
they are on the phone
As long as they are talking
I will not leave them alone
I will hide food in the pantry
and put rocks behind the doors
I’ll run off to the movies
and not wash a dish
I’ll ask for money
whenever I wish
I’ll stuff up the plumbing
and flood water on the floor
As soon as they mop it up
I will flood it some more
Whenever they correct me
I will lie down and cry
kicking and screaming,
not a tear in my eye
I will hide their pencils and flash lights
and when they buy new ones I’ll hide them again
I will spill my glass of milk
to complete every meal
Then I will eat my banana
and just drop the peel
I will put toys on the table
and spill jam and jelly on the floor
I will break dishes
as though I was four
I will have fun
and what a joy it will be
To live with each of my children
like they lived with me

Well, I had stuck it on the original run of Dimensional Doors back in 2003.
That was as far as I'd gotten with it at the time.
