~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...

Two gems you left
for the poets of the Lair

both excellent
in content
mysterious and rare

calling forth
echoes of the past
and present
haunting and vexing

words that last.

Yikes, that is early.

Well, the old adage
Early to bed
Early to rise,
makes a man (woman)
healthy, wealthy and wise. ;)




And well rested.

Been getting up at 5 or thereabouts oh, 25 years or so. Pretty much of a habit.

Mellow is the quiet that I get
in the morning, before they rise,
in the morning, before they rise,
that's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Peaceful is the color of the time
in the morning, before they rise,
in the morning, before they rise,
that's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Calm is the feeling that I get
in the morning, before they rise,
in the morning, before they rise,
that's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

(apologies to Donovan)

I do believe that watching dawn appear
is the best time of the day.

There is a peaceful calm in the time
and the wonder of it all sweeps
over the mind

Of just how small we all are
in the grand scheme of things.

Albert Camus said, "Don't walk behind me; I may
not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not
follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."





Today is Monday, Jan. 30, the 30th day of 2006 with 335 to
follow. The moon is waxing. The morning stars are Jupiter,
Pluto and Venus. The evening stars are Mars, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune and Mercury.

Pooka Promises

Aye ye fear da pooka, boy, ‘n wise his you, I say,

So pours me a foam’n ‘eaded cold, cold beer,
‘n lets me tell ya o a Pooka’s most terrible day.

Twer ol King Brian Boru, him as was High King of Erin,
wid a bit o magic ‘n tree ‘airs of a Pooka’s tail.
‘E bridled hit in da glen, ‘n rodem to a standstill wit out fail
‘n tricked ‘im out hov tree wishes boy, dere ‘n den!

First hit weren’t ta pester Christians, or deir lands,
second, hit were ta leave hall Irishmen hat peace.
sept dose drunk, hor wit heart of evil without cease
‘n third, dose it could have as fierce has hit wanted wid out bans.

Ol Brian’s gone ‘n da spell be weaker now,
so da Pooka, his still rais’n ‘ell has ‘e pleases.
So careful be, hor hits yer soul ‘e might freezes,
beware da night hif da Pooka’s up fer a row!

Them pookas will take you on wild rides if you don't watch out....

Dark the horse that flies over the silent hills,
his gallop beating through the night
like the sound of fear.
Dancing in the wheat, stallion he,
with no respect for hard work and hungry mouth,
Fences concern him not, as he crashes through
leaving more work behind.
Beware, you who walk the road at night,
for in his mad joy, he will come like the wind
and knock you into the ditch, for the sheer doing of it.
Don't forget to leave him his bit when harvest comes,
Or you will feel his ire even more.
