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...

Compensation
by Sara Teasdale
I should be glad of loneliness
And hours that go on broken wings,
A thirsty body, a tired heart
And the unchanging ache of things,
If I could make a single song
As lovely and as full of light,
As hushed and brief as a falling star
On a winter night.

Good morning, Bentreather. The poem reminds me of the thunder and lightening we have had here this past week. Relative calm, and then....K W A C K!

Here's looking at you, kid!
The eye
In the sky
Is a butterfly!

Oh, I am so relieved! I thought Tomkow's Voices had materialized into a spy camera.

All this raucous all this fuss
Gibson got drunk and started to cuss
Chattering here, chatting there,
I'll bet Gibson wishes he were anywhere
but sobering up to this big blitz
he has set several communities on their edge...
How's he gonna get out of this?
To: bentfeather
Still, don't put it past Tomkow's voices to use spies.

Caffeine Crowbar for my Eyes
Coffee, so very black’n steaming hot
steam rising up from the chipped rim
as the first morning light dances upon
the spreading ripples around the spoon
and I pause a while, I’ll drink it soon
but right now I take a glance at dawn
as another day climbs from the dim
I’m happy gazing fondly on my cup
