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...

Thought of the Day

---

it was Dag Hammarskjold who said, "Never measure
the height of a mountain until you have reached
the top. Then you will see how low it was."

LONDON, 1802

MILTON! thou shouldst be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish men;
Oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.
Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart:
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea:
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
So didst thou travel on life's common way,
In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart
The lowliest duties on herself did lay.

by: William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

Thank you for the tunes Miss Feather . . . good night

I saw a Cardinal
in my garden today,
into my environs
she came to play.

A little drabber than
her other, but,
welcome still,
no matter the colour.

Hope, sorry I missed you.


I really enjoy the Cardinal poem. Of all the birds I think I love the Cardinal best.

Good morning everyone.

regains its original dimensions."
Oliver Wendell Holmes said that.

Well dis pooka thing has
me in a spin
I keep wonderin' if I
have ever seem him

Me thinks the fairy
has smitten me
I have them flying free
I have them with pointed ears
big, soft wings, slanted eyes
they cast spells on summer nights

fly around like fireflies
but the pooka who holds my
heart, the dragonfly most sublime
I am his and he is mine.

Bunny's sitting so nonchalant,
like last years goofy debutante.
Intruder's been noticed by the cat, who shouts
"wake-up puppy! I smell a rat."

There's a stranger in our midst,
come on fellows, we're being dissed!
Who let this rat on board?
bunny, have you heard a word?

Stir yourselves you lazy lot,
this rat's no bigger than a dot.
Aw, seriously fellows, I need help
WAKE-UP DOG AND YELP!!!
