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...

Yupper, we support the troops here as well. We better be there for them, they volunteer to die for our freedoms.


God Bless them all.

March with temps of 80°
swell the budding live oak trees
spring leaf drop is near

Poeming through the Night!

Words slip through my odd mind,
as over this old keyboard I but rest,
seeking something I may even find,
though not always my personal best!

Words whisper the possibilities there within,
and I listen in wonder to the things they’ve said,
and sometimes write them down to read again,
and find some surprise at where they have led!

Entwined around some idea still half formed yet,
the poem is a fledgling life findings its own way,
and I really have no idea where it going to set,
taking my chances as I scribe what the words do say!

Let the wonder and the winsome have their play,
and follow the bouncing ball along the line,
seeking the end of the story, finish the poem I say,
and trust your muse to make it come out perhaps fine!

Here I sit in the deepening night again,
floating thoughts upon a slumbering sea,
surprised what the tide will bring from my pen,
wonder from where did this come to be?

[Soaring Feather]

little fey I see
clinging to the vine
do my eyes play tricks on me

uncleshag; pelikan, Judy in Jupiter, SUBNIC glad to see you all here, the family gets bigger everyday!

Uncle Shag: Gotta tell you that sounds like one of my 'odd'uncles, could fix anything mechanical, but had the manners of a grouch, smoked the most vile cigars, drank beer like a fish, and made a drunken evil-temepered curmudgeon look like a diplomat! Clearly I idolized the old fart, and followed his good example! Now I'm the motorcycle building curmudgeon and working on getting to 'First-class Grouch' one day. But I am glad to see you here anyway!!!!!!!!!

pelikan: And are you a ungainly, ill-mannered old bird with a strong interest in things of a maritime and piscatory nature?

Judy in Jupiter: Welcome! Out of curiosity, are you up for ribald poems, or the sort 'feather lets me put on here? ;^)

Subnic: Keep working'em boy, your going to be a poet yet! I feel so strongly that you will, that I bought a box of cigars to smoke when you drop a poem on us that makes Lady 'feather blush! (I've tried, but she's made of sterner stuff then I had thought!)

[HopeandGlory]

Boy, I sure miss Miss Spotsybelle . . . sigh!!!

[Soaring Feather]

OH MY, ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!

My how risque, Hope!

Oh you're bad. ;) Steamer of the Lair.

Did you catch that link to the audio poetry from England?

[Soaring Feather]

Yeah, the good ones leave all too, often I fear.

We did the Pancake Poems up right for Spotsy.

[GeekDejure]

Thang Q, Ms. Feather, you're such a QT Pie,
Your poem is superb, and no one had to die.

But considering the mentality,
Of the hoard you did not name,

An explosion would have surely made,
those dogs and Bush to blame !!! ;-))
