~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Poetry Thread XXIV~

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...

I love this poem . . . it explains the events of my day to a T!!!

Lazy, rainy, windy day,
with my book in hand
plus . . . of course,
a cup 'o tea . . . ;-)

Good night again y'all . . .LOL!!!

We are 2 blocks from the beach.You can hear the ocean.The boardwalk starts right there too and Ed and the kids like to ride their bikes down to the end for breakfast.Last week we painted to get ready for the renters and the guys ran over to Atlantic City to place a few bets .

[Soaring Feather]

Oh boy, I have spent time in those Casinos at Atlantic City!

WOO HOO. Love it there. However, I have not been there in years now. I really love the shore.

[fatima]

Well they have a new casino-the bogotten-I think that is the name.My daughter sang a few years ago in a contest they had and that was fun.They have clubs on the beach now and we took over the place.She didn't make it but won a towel and we went inside and there was a man who was winning on the throw the dice thing and I said to my daughter-in-law lets watch him.He said if I roll a seven I will strip and run through the casino.We were waiting but he lost:)

[Soaring Feather]

LOL.


I just like the one armed bandits. ;)

[Soaring Feather]

Well, hon I am going to bed now. I am really tired. Have a good sleep. See ya tomorrow.

[fatima]

I pass out in casino's.All the noise:)I had to go to Vegas 2 times for TV and Ed loved it but I can tell you I always win.Give me a few quarters and I come out with money.We got free dinner's-rooms-.I was at the Nape convention for TV producers and got to meet so many people.The front booth was being run by Pam Anderson and it was like that for the whole thing.You offer them a TV show and see who wants to pick it up.I turned everybody down.They wanted our teen program to change too much.I stayed little and happy.At the convention they look at you badge before they look at you face.I couldn't believe Dick Clark was in makeup there and I did get to meet Julia Roberts.That girl needs to eat:)

Night beautiful.

[HopeandGlory]

The sky, it's raining, but,
I'm not complaining.
When my book's calling,
on duties, I'm falling.
Knitting's forgotten,
my orders verboten.
I'm taking time out,
for ME!!!

I Dream

To dream,
to explore the far horizon,
somewhere deep within.

Thoughts drift,
like distant gaseous nebula,
in faint gossamer veils.

Welcome sleep,
brings exploration beyond,
yours once again.

Ever we seek,
far horizons that slip beyond us,
like sounding whales.

Touch a dream,
and dare to sail a hidden sea,
just find where to begin.

Set your course,
to places only you can find,
in whispers of hidden tales.

[Soaring Feather]

I Dream



Honey dripping from the comb.


This is exquisite. I have read a lot of your poems over the years, this is stellar. This poem was born in a star nursery and the farthest reaches of your mind.


Thank You so much.

[Soaring Feather]

Good Sunday morning all.

[Soaring Feather]

Surreal

Images muted, buried and drown
others barely hanging on to ground
a dream world, maybe so,
someones nightmare from long ago?

Is the wait one of ebbing, or total immersion
A lens eye captures the wait
we can't forecast when the drying out will begin
or when all that was is now gone.
A relic to another world, in a shimp sunset.

How's this for better form?

First glimpse,
Intrigue, excitement
Yearning to stare,
Peeking.

First meeting,
Nervous, shaking
Babbling silly nonsense,
Embarrassed.

First connection,
Elation, floating
Sharing a long laugh,
Invincible.

First kiss
Tingling, numb
Breathing deep sighs
Amazed.

First love,
Intoxicating, stimulating
Nothing else matters
Unforgettable!

[Soaring Feather]
