~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread~XXII
August 28, 2005 | bentfeather/The Poets of the Lair

Posted on 08/28/2005 2:26:23 AM PDT 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...

Love the graphic, sweet haiku, too.


KC, MO started to cool down at 12:00 pm today, now it's in the 60s. Swift change.

Deep breathing, faces glow,
Words and worlds have stopped once more.
Let us make them turn.

We were so hot that night,
Why, even the fan was turned on.
... Pays to be prepared.

Two plus three make five,
And five and two make seven.
But one is alone.

Scorching sun setting
Gives way to nighttime's cool air
And the heat of you


Well, not you personally of course. ROFL!

"Hmmmm.... I wonder if Haiku can be Hot??

She moans in her need
arching up in ecstasy
on a silken plain

or

Gasping in her need
in hunger she holds me close
in raging release

or

Sweet fire runs through her
soft touches drive her to burn
amid inner fire

The touch of flesh burns,
Even when passion has cooled.
Some nights are too long.

lace and black satin
moaning in Latin
continental romance
now sodden and forgotten.

Using three counts per line
and twelve lines
make a poem of passion


Passions burn
as hands grasp
as two lovers
soft entwined
hungrily
merge as one
and burn bright
in searing
sweet sweet need
under a moon
so silent
and so wise
