The Dragonflies Lair~Thread XXIX
The Muse and Poets of the Lair | July 12, 2006 | bentfeather

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...

--Answer to "WHO AM I?"

Kathy Bates. After working as a cashier at New York's Museum
of Modern Art and as a singing waitress in a Catskill resort,
Bates distinguished herself in 1983's 'Night Mother, for
which she earned a Tony nomination. She won a prestigious
Obie award for her role as the abused waitress Frankie in
Terence McNally's Off-Broadway play Frankie and Johnny - a
part that was written especially for her.

Until the 1990s, Bates had only minor parts in TV series and
lackluster films. But with the critical and popular success
of Misery, Bates' film career hit an upswing. She won a Best
Actress Oscar for her role opposite James Caan in Misery,
followed by a Golden Globe for her role as the comically
emancipated housewife in Fried Green Tomatoes.

She had prominent roles in Dolores Claiborne, Diabolique,
Titanic, The Waterboy, and Primary Colors for which she
received another Oscar nomination. Bates has directed
episodes of the TV dramas Homicide, NYPD Blue, and Oz, and
also directed A&E's Dash and Lilly, starring Sam Shepard,
Judy Davis, and Babe Neuwirth.
