~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Poetry Thread XXIV~
January 2, 2006 | bentfeather/Poets of the Lair

Posted on 01/02/2006 7:52:08 AM PST 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...

" Where'd you get that feather... somehow it just seems wrong to award a plum prize of a plume to a peli pooper such as pelikan. "

His was the first answer so as soon as he pm's me his address he get the pen. I will put other contests on here to give you another chance at a feather of your own no fear. ;^)

And as for you 'feather, we'll have no cheating here! (Though I can be sweet talked in to a lot by such a beautiful woman!) sigh

So, Unc, you're from South Carolina? I've lived in Spartanburg, Columbia and Myrtle Beach - love the state. The first time I was invited to go out to dinner at a fish camp, I thought the invitor was crazy. Turned out to be the best catfish & grits ever!!!

Hope you all are doing well!

Oh, you doll! Purple is my most favorite color!! One of the sweet(?) gals I work with sings 'When I get old I'll learn to love purple' . . . think she's calling me old? Don't see how she could be - I'm only 35!

Yep, just a lifelong Sandlapper!
Was that the fish camp in Carlisle, per chance?

There are simply the best eating spots all over this state. BBQ included.

Mother, age 85, recalls her mother taking their large family (14) to fish camps and setting the children down under trees would prepare each child a plate with the warning, "Now, just eat what I gie you and nothing else." Then the kids proceeded to fill up on a little fish and loads of hushpuppies and fried onion rings.

You been a gypsy all your life, DJ?

Oh, my gosh, I forgot about the hushpuppies! How could I have forgotten about the hushpuppies?!?

Not a gypsy - grew up in West Virginia & have lived in Florida nearly 30 years - but for about 12 years in between moved around in Virginia & the Carolinas.

My fishcamp was near Spartanburg.

It's a song? A poem? I thought she was just being sweetly snide.

How come you all quit talking?

Here's the link... it's a fun poem, and may be a song I'm not sure. Then we have the Red Hat Society which is nation wide.

Thanks for the link - what a great poem. My mother always said you have to start young to be a proper old lady. Kind of hard to do when you've spent so much time being a tomboy, though.

Are you in the Red Hat Society? Have read about it - sounds like they have fun.

This IS me, spoofing the RED HAT SOCIETY.
I read my poetry to about 100 people looking like this.
LOL.... That is a nylon duster in my hat.

Right, I am not a member, I meant to answer that for you. There are many in my area who are though and I have no problem with any of it.

My dress was plum purple. It rained all darned day. There was a huge crowd of folks it was over 100 I know for a fact. I had more danged fun doing that.

My daughters just about having fits laughing and a couple of my granddaughters were there as well. Their sides were splitting. ;)


Yupper, it was a nylon duster. I wanted an ostrich plume, but could not find one.

Oh, that must have been the Carlisle fish camp or it's parent. My folks are scattered all over the state and it's good in a way.

I didn't mean anything belittling by the gypsy remark, BTW.
I have at times lived due to employment in Fla. and KY. W,VA and GA.

Oh, I even once spent a lifetime of 6 weeks in Cranford, New Jersey. Sheesh.

Sorry I had to run earlier, a capet vacuuming was very much in order here. Frito's explosion and all.
