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...

Thanks sjb!

Come around as you can.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning/evening, everyone.

[GeekDejure]

Hmmmm... Diana Krall is pretending that she is Diane Krill...

Betcha its 'cuz this is one of her bad hair days, eh? ;-))

[Soaring Feather]

Merning!

Well, now do you like her??

[Soaring Feather]

Oh I see, difference in spelling of her name, doh, my fault, I can't spell for beans. ;)

"Bob this is absolutely fabulous, it sings so well."

Thank you! It may interest you to know that it was triggered by your post 592.

We rode the moon while it climbed high
and slide down the other side
to catch the moving, morning stars
in the wide open sky.

I thought about those "moving, morning stars" and what made a morning star, and what made a morning and presto! I had a poem.

Don't let everybody know how easy it is.

Good morning,

Ms Feather!

[Soaring Feather]

Isn't it exciting when a poet is inspired by another's writings?

I am honored thanks.

This happens for me a lot, a line in someone's poem will grab me and I am off to the races.

It's great to know we can (as poets) challenage, or inspire, and support each other in our craft.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, Tomkow!

My goodness, Tweety is hopping this morning.

[Soaring Feather]

It's cloudy out
it looks like rain
temps are down
and I've not gone insane
oppressive heat and humidity
have gone for now.


Maybe it's a matter of time
'til the temperatures climb
but for now, I'll try to recline. ;)


How does your weather fare this day??

Thought of the Day

---

it was Henry David Thoreau who said, "Some
circumstantial evidence is very strong, as
when you find a trout in milk."

---

Today is Thursday, Aug. 3, the 215th day of 2006 with
150 to follow. The moon is waxing. The morning stars are
Mars, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune. The evening stars are
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Pluto.

Holy cow it's been so long since we've talked! I have some good news about my poetry! i am in the finals in a poetry contest I entered last month! I already got that poem published in a coffe table edition. I'm so excited, I might win the grand prize, which I believe is $20,000!

[Soaring Feather]

Okay, I am caught up to you now. :)

[Soaring Feather]

Thanks! So what did I miss? Anything important?

Well, I competed in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. I did not win. The poem I read to the judges and audience is on this thread. Probably July 24 or 25th.

[Soaring Feather]

Here's the poem I read!

Let's stay on The Dragonflies Lair~Thread XXIX, okay?

You may want to repost your poem on the current thread so that everyone can see it. ;)

Oh my gosh! Really?! I got invited to go to a poetry seminar in Las Vegas on July 20-24. I couldn't go because I didn't have the money. Oh well, was it fun?!

[Reaper FReeper]

I love it!

[Soaring Feather]

Yes, it was fun and very tiring, I did meet some neat people.

There were lots of young people at the convention, they did very well in the competition.

[Reaper FReeper]

End

Have you seen it?

Have you heard it?

This will be the worst mess

Worse than the beginning of the end

Worse than life or death

It's messed up but we think it's alright

We can't stand

We can't walk

All we do is sit and talk

It's over but we cant except it

We just defend it

Past present future

Life has become a detour

Until heaven or hell comes

Then we leave our homes

But it's just a dream, so it seems
