The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread~XXXIV~March 10, 2007

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...

Reporting Live from Taiwan, The Lair's, Live Action Reporter, starbase, bringing up to the minute news.

LOL! Yes we can try, but that TinyPic.com URL I use for picture posting is blocked in Taiwan due to "violations of posting rules", so I'll have to find another hosting site, I believe there are lots of them around.

Well, does this mean your music files will be gone again - I mean if you trade it for the camera?

Not this time! I'm only trading in the computer. Since I've been back I have bought a little USB memory card, only the size of a rather small lighter, for just $30 bucks, it holds 2 GIG! Can you believe how cheap and large these storage devices are these days?

It's loaded with files, and music and software and what not and I still have 1 gig open! So I will pop it in my pocket and have Lair music no matter what Internet cafe I go to in Taiwan.

Oh, I had forgotten about the memory card you bought. Good thinking!

Another place, don't know anything about this one, I mean whether it costs money or not.

Haiku is fine
some of us write
it some of the time



You have septic tanks problems,
yikes been there done that.

I am not very good at writing Haiku,
we do have several poets who write it well.

2. sunny side of the street
3. chansonamor
4. choochooboogie
5. operator

Does that pretty much sum up your collection? ;-)

Yes, for Manhattan Transfer, it is not complete. Sorry.

I will look through my files just to make sure.

LOL! Thanks! Feel free to steal...er...borrow it.

The Junk man LIVES! ...I scanned a Washington Mutual flyer from the mail today for the pic, did a little photo-shopping, then stole a haiku from somewhere within 'the world's largest library'. Figured that with a Spring theme, a cute pic (I would have preferred a Lab, but, Oh well!), and a dog-cat verse, how could I go wrong? ...grin

You're welcome.

There is so much work to do on the Anthology. I wish to have everyone equally represented by show casing their wonderful writing. It encourages writers and gives morale a real boost to see one's work saved and showcased.

Cardinal At Mornings Edge
 
  Soft spoken dawns call
Against snowy curb canvas,
Chaos of my thoughts refocus
Toward an early date with spring.
From some lofted frozen branch
Across the boulevard are you,
Sweet singer of preharbinged seasons
Song of warmth belied by icey grayness.
No rhyme, just music to a sullen ear
Meant to bring us all awake to hear;
Though none do, but I, mankinds child,
Not winged like you, nor rouge
Of daybreaks blushing cue
On the edge of morn...

Kathy J Anderson

Good Morning To The Lair
I am enjoying your Cardinal poems and pictures. Mine
are really singing out today.

Message of the Cardinal
 
  A cardinal,
on this cold, yet bright
spring morning
rests on a birch branch
outside of my window.
I pause from my work
to watch it and
breathe in
the magnificence
of its colour.
A smile overtakes me.
The cardinal
has brought for me a message
on this day.
He tells me,
in no uncertain terms,
that
life
is beautiful.

Good day, Lady Jag!

Love the poetry and there's nothing like a Cardinal sing in the Lair.
