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...

Thank you, thank you, and now lets have one of our other poets try their hands at a rain poem.

[Soaring Feather]

Mayhap we can entice starbase, he checked in today from China.

[WayzataJOHNN]

I noticed that, hardly out of work and he's already into mischief!

[Soaring Feather]

LOL! He will get a kick out of that.;)

[starbase]

That rain poem is really top quality, definitely anthology material. I tried a few lines, but nothing's gelling. I think you have the last word on rain poems today!

I'm going to look into scanning photos from one of those little disposable cameras today. At that rate I might could get 30 some pictures up on the Internet for a total cost of 10 bucks or so. Do that three times and that should be enough pictures to drop in and post for the next five months!

So I might spend the day buzzing around all the trendy tourist spots taking pictures today, and then post some of those (after I iron out the details). Then again, if the plane crashes flying to the north tomorrow, well then.....................................................................................................................................................BOOM!

Patter of rain on a tin roof
lured me to sleep as a child
soothing a weary played out kid
into the land of dreams

The room was hot I remember well
tossing in my bed I could not tell
were the stars out tonight

there was not a window in my room
so restlessly I tossed around
when suddenly I heard them patter
on the roof top their little song

first a gentle tap, tap, tap,
a heavy rain the beat increased
to a roaring crescendo
as the smell of hot tar from the near by road
filled my small room

I thought think of all the red newts
walking the gravel side of the road
it's night and I dare not leave my bed
to gather them in my hand for a moment
to feel the softness of their skin
and see their brilliant red/orange color

Lured into a dreamy sleep
counting red newts along the road
and the pitter patter of rain on a tin roof

Ah ha, you are here. ;)

Pictures, yay how exciting you will share these with us. A tourist view of the Orient.

I am working on a web site for our Selected writings. It will take a while but I am really hyped over it.

Your offer of going thread hopping, definitely will be called upon in the coming months.;)

Great, I'll look forward to it. Well, off to compare prices for scanning pics!

Cheers!

Elvis Presley said, "I wouldn't be honest with
you if I said I wasn't ashamed of some of the
movies, and the songs I've had to sing in them."
