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...

We've got to stop meeting like this: Washington, N.C., firefighter Chris Brock reacts to a lick by a dog being rescued for the second time from the roof of a residence. The dog managed to get access to the roof via a broken pane in an second-floor window. Unable to convince the dog to come down the ladder, Brock managed to coax the pooch back inside through the window only to have it return as soon as the ladder was removed.

Making a shy debut: Polar bear cub Knut is is presented for the first time at the Berlin zoo, March 23, 2007. Knut, born last December, had to be hand-fed every four hours after its mother Tosca refused the baby.

Alighting in two ways: A window cleaner passes a lighter to his colleague while rappelling from a new building in Tianjin, China. You guys are just showing off, right?

Oh there you are. I was just wrapping things up for the night.
My back is aching, I did a lot of laundry and cleaning so I am bushed.
To: Soaring Feather
Rest well. Until the morrow.

We call him Mr. P
He stands at our door
Each morning
Like an emperor
Aloof, with jeweled crown
Mascarared eyes
We offer sunflower seeds
He hesitates, then
With cautious grace
Steps toward the offering
Head jerking awkwardly
From side to side
He has no home
This wondrous miracle
Of feathered cobalt blue
At Christmastime
His tail fullgrown becomes
A fan of shimmering eyes

Artist: Bobby Day Lyrics
Song: Rockin' Robin Lyrics
He rocks in the tree-top all a day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' the song
All the little birds on J-Bird St.
Love to hear the robin goin' tweet tweet tweet
[Chorus]
Rockin' robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Rockin' robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Oh rockin' robin well you really gonna rock tonight
Every little swallow, every chickadee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flapping them wings sayin' go bird go
[Chorus]
A wordy little raven at the bird's first dance
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
He started goin' steady and bless my soul
He out popped the buzzard and the oriole
He rocks in the tree-top all a day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' the song
All the little birds on J-Bird St.
Love to hear the robin goin' tweet tweet tweet
[Chorus]
To: Lady Jag
Hello, Lady.
Lovely Peacock picture and poetry.

White Ibis with Plastic Bag
|
|
|
| |
I was pushing the laden trolley
when I saw him - a magnificent white ibis
with long outstretched wings
and something blue
like a parachute
trailing behind.
What the...?
He dropped out of the air
close to me
and staggered
drunkenly
into the loading bay.
I crawled after him on hands and knees.
He was so beautiful
and utterly helpless
helpless and ridiculous
wearing that silly plastic bag
like a necklace.
A moment of hesitation
- as I perused the long curved charcoal bill -
then I lunged quickly
and held the bird tight
(Mum used to keep chooks)
His trembling body
felt warm
and fragile beneath my hands
and his beak wasn't sharp at all -
but rubbery when he pecked me.
It didn't hurt.
I removed the bag
and the bird flew away
leaving me strangely elated.

What a story, poor bird. Glad someone helped it out.
