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...

Happy Boxing Day Everyone!!!

See you soon . . . ;-)

[Soaring Feather]

Thanks for stopping around Hope. Enjoy Boxing Day.

[WayzataJOHNN]

OK, but who do you box, what weightclass, what time?

[HopeandGlory]

The "Well- to-do" boxed up leftovers for "The Poor." On the day after Christmas . . . It's an English thing . . . ;-)

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, well you would be heavyweight.

Hi!! *GRINS*

[Soaring Feather]

Oh is that what it is?? Leftover food?? Really??

[HopeandGlory]

Boxing Day

The day after Christmas, the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, is better known as Boxing Day. The term may come from the opening of church poor boxes that day; maybe from the earthenware boxes with which boy apprentices collected money at the doors of their masters' clients.

Nowadays, we often see, in certain families, gifts (boxes) given to those who provide services throughout the year.

[Soaring Feather]

Ah, thank you. I know Canada celebrates Boxing Day.

[HopeandGlory]

Yes . . . all of the Commonwealth Countries do . . .a "leftover" from their British Heritage . . . ;-)

[Soaring Feather]

*HUGS*

How you doing, sweet pea??

[HopeandGlory]

Surviving . . . today was "Collapse" day . . . so I did . . . LOL!!!

[Soaring Feather]

I did the cocooning thing yesterday and today! LOL

Think I am coming down with a cold. Rats.

[HopeandGlory]

Stay well Miss Feather . . . those colds can get nasty.

Good night everyone . . . see you tomorrow.

[Soaring Feather]

Tell me a story.
One of old
reeky caverns
and pots of gold

Tell me a story
of leprechauns small
the little people
living under the wall

Tell me a story of
olden times
and rime covered
quarries in a
diamond mine.

Tell me a story, please
of knights
dueling in marshes and bogs
by moonlight

Ladies fair, covered in moss
winds off the craggy cliffs
both strong and stiff

And the stench of the old
ones wailing all night
with screaming banshees
on the fourth night.

  THE MAGIC TREE

My daughter has a magic tree
It grows in a pot on her lanai
One day a few months ago
It had little white blossoms all over
But they disappeared in a few days
Now it has a dozen oranges
Just hanging there like Christmas ornaments
I'm going to keep an eye on that tree
No telling what it will do next
I'm hoping for pineapples or Asian pears

[Soaring Feather]

Aloha to you hawk.


The Magic Tree



LOL I love it. Neat poem.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.

[Soaring Feather]

Today is Tuesday, Dec. 27, the 361st day of 2005 with four to
follow. The moon is waning. The morning stars are Mercury,
Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn. The evening stars are Venus, Mars,
Uranus and Neptune.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Christmas continues...

I see thee, little child in your mother's lap.
In you the impossible has come to be,
Creator enters creation and takes a nap
As mother you did make sings lullaby to thee.


(I wrote that as an exercise in writing a 4 line stanza, but it wants to be longer. Something to work on later!)

[Soaring Feather]

Oh structured poetry. Yikes. I am a rebel. Free Verse for me.


Bravo for you to do this. I just loose it when I try.
