~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...

It's a Vern Gosdin or George Jones type song. I think it has a beautiful melody. I love singing it.

I am more familiar with George Jones, than Vern, although I have head him sing.

George, has a voice quality that can get ya to the bone.

Soo I can imagine what you song sounds like from the lyrics.

Vern can put more hurt in a song than George can. They call Vern Gosdin "The voice". Smooth

The Fit



It's not too easy to trim
The pileated woodpecker to a poem
Because the long beak and the name
Won't fit a convenient frame

But the beak shims under the bark
Where the cold-stunned beetles lurk
And the long bill rings in its work
In the sap-vacated dark

With a stiff and a scarlet crest
And a white splash on its breast
It circles the tree trunks lest
You prove a catching pest

Two thirds the size of a crow
Wary of watchers below
It sounds like an axman's blow
In the darkening woods and the snow

Pavel Chichikov
