~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...

Isn't he handsome. When I lived back east I never saw a Blue Jay. Of course the Steller's Jay is it's "cousin" out west. We only have the Steller and the Scrub Jay. We have tons of Scrub Jays. Sam feeds them whole peanuts. The Steller wants to come for peanuts but the bully Scrubs (pictured below) keep chasing them off!

We don't have either of these species of Jays, just the Blue Jay, very pretty, but noisy rascals.

My 1st shot at poetry. Posted it on the Canteen thread. Would be intrested on feed back.

For us there were no homecomings, no yellow ribbons, no parades.

58,266 of our heroes moulder in their graves.

We answered our call, we stood our ground and met our foe with steel.

In a land far away, they call Viet Nam.

For this our countrymen spit on us and said we should be 'shamed.

We bite our tongues, got on with life and held our 'nam brothers close

We hid our tears and our scars and dreamed of forgotten ghosts.

And the generations change and time moves on and our critics learn a truth.

It is not us who are shamed but they who had spit

WE answered out call, fulfilled OUR oath and of this our children boast.
