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...

Thank you Ms. Feather. I hope you have a nice day today.

I'm on my way out to be with all the birdies in my yard!

[Soaring Feather]

You are invited to browse in the Lair. The Lair, is a poetry thread. We have many fine poets here at FR and we are fortunate to have many post their work here.

[Soaring Feather]

Alas, it is rainy in NY this day. I can see some birds out my back door window-it looks into my garden.

I ventured out there yesterday and was greeted by a huge area of tiny Johnny Jump Ups. So grand. The yard is turning into a fern garden. The fern spores are spreading over the entire little yard. Most pleasant on hot summer eves to sit amoung them.

Glenn Gaul Way becomes alive out there.

Thanks for the offer I'll have to cruise by and take a peek.

I trust the poems are all "G" rated.

Oh BTW....

What did the Mother Bullalo say to her male offspring?

---- BI SON ---

That's the type of humor I get to hear with an Elementary Teacher and a Elemntary Teacher in Training in the house.

All the poetry is safe! LOL

My Madness

Engulfed by a symphony
of perfection
your love is my madness
and the
desire to abandon the rings.

Thank you sweet Feather! Simply Beautiful!

Good evening everyone!
I hope SOMEbody's ebjoying some beautiful Spring weather this weekend. LOL!
It's been mighty dreary in the TN. hills,
but at least there are flowers adding a little color to the scenery.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi radu.

Wow is this Iris blooming on the farm? WOO HOO! Iris don't bloom here until June.

What about Violas?? Do you have some this year??

[radu]

Howdy feather!
Yes, that iris is blooming in the bed in front of the big gas tanks. I snapped the shot this afternoon.
Aunt Clara has several gorgeous varieties of iris stuck here and there around the farm, all blooming at different times. Here's another one, in the bed between the guest house and the barn.....

I wish the sun had been shining today. The flowers would be much prettier in sunlight.
It's GLOOMY and wet around here............did you notice the rain drops on the iris in the other post? Those are fresh drops. The wind apparently had already dried the drops on this iris.

The violas aren't doing too well this year for some reason. :-( Some have come up but nothing like the past couple of years.

[Soaring Feather]

What a great picture with no sun. Fantastic Du.

Yes, I did see the drops on the first picture. These colors are just beautiful.

We have had rain and gloom all day.

[radu]

We're feelin' mighty moldy around here lately, with all the rain we've had. LOL! We're sooooooo ready for some sunshine!

Here's another iris that's open today. I used the flash to brighten it up, as the first shot I took was pretty dull.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh my, each one is more beautiful that the preceding one.

Nothing beats the deep purple though.

[radu]

That deep purple one is my fave, though they're all gorgeous. I wish more than one of each was blooming. There are plenty of buds but the lack of sunlight may be slowing things down.
There are also other varieties that haven't opened yet that I'll snap pics of as they do. :-)

[laurenmarlowe]

Good evening Ms. Feather. This is a gorgeous presentation, and poem.

[Soaring Feather]

Good evening, ms marlowe. Did you enjoy your day??

[laurenmarlowe]

I did Ms. Feather, thank you! In and out all day.

I enjoyed reading about your backyard turning into a fern garden, how lovely!

Might you get some sunshine tomorrow?

[Soaring Feather]

Not very promising right now. It's typical of NY this time of the year. Under a mass of clouds. LOL

[laurenmarlowe]

The sun is always shining for you here Ms. Feather!
