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...

It has been a while.; I lurk every day, but have not written much. Mostly songs. Hope you are feeling well.

[Soaring Feather]

Good evening Hope. Lovely poem and graphic.

I hope all is well with you. *HUGS*

[Soaring Feather]

Ah you are writing songs, great.

It's nice to know you lurk.

I am well, thank you for asking.

[HopeandGlory]

I'm doing great Miss Feather . . . the creative side of my brain is still locked up . . . but, other than that, I'm doing just fine . . .LOL!!!

So, in the meantime I'll post someone else's creative impulses and wait for mine to re-flower . . . ;-)

Good night Miss Feather all who come to The Lair . . . Hope to see you tomorrow.

[Soaring Feather]

Good night, dear Hope.





I am in a slump myself. Have to get charged soon.


Rest well.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Morning,
if today I do not greet you
with my usual gusto,
ready to see what you have in store for me,
It is not my fault.
Your sister Night
teased me in my sleep,
nudging me just enough
that I thought she was Miss Twilight,
and how long I lay there,
not quite asleep,
not quite awake,
as Night dragged it out forever.
And now I sit here,
heavy eyed,
and wish for the rest
she took from me.
Ah well. Perhaps Lady Midday
will look upon me kindly
and gift me with a nap.

[Soaring Feather]

Lovely good morning words, Knitting. Your muse must be turned on all the time. Mine gets distracted from little annoying thoughts of life in general.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

The little annoying thoughts of life are often what sparks me to write.

Freeverse comes natural.

The structured stuff, though, is harder work!

[Soaring Feather]

LOL so true.


Actually I have been writing, just not here.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Some amusements I wrote in another place....

Alas and alack, just consider
pronunciation's blue and green litter,
does scarf rhyme with dwarf,
or could it just morph
into some philological glitter?

[Soaring Feather]

LOL very good. I like the first one a lot.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Someone rhymed scarf with dwarf, and I just had to react...I don't know if that person pronounced them the same way, but to me, dwarf rhymes with morph! I don't like spelling rhymes that don't sound the same...pet peeve...

[Soaring Feather]

Yes, that is an odd rhyming scheme.

I have to agree with you on the dwarf and morph.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.
