The Dragonflies' Lair~Thread~XXXV~March 25, 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...

Hello from a sunny East coast day, all is well, thanks.

How goes it for you, cobwebs blown away, coffee brewed?

Cobwebs and jet lag essentially gone. On my second cup of coffee. Fingers, eyes and brain apparently in sync. So old SOL is out today. Is all of the snow gone?

Yep, all the snow is gone in my backyard anyway. Temps going into the 50s, now that's a WOO HOO! I think it's going to be a strange weather year. Sure glad I don't live in Tornado Alley, sheesh, that's scary.

So, you're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave..... Tornadoes are scary but if you have your red shoes on it is apparently okay.

Why Do Birds Sing?
 
  Let poets piece prismatic words,
Give me the jewelled joy of birds!

What ecstasy moves them to sing?
Is it the lyric glee of Spring,
The dewy rapture of the rose?
Is it the worship born in those
Who are of Nature's self a part,
The adoration of the heart?

Is it the mating mood in them
That makes each crystal note a gem?
Oh mocking bird and nightingale,
Oh mavis, lark and robin - hail!
Tell me what perfect passion glows
In your inspired arpeggios?

A thrush is thrilling as I write
Its obligato of delight;
And in its fervour, as in mine,
I fathom tenderness divine,
And pity those of earthy ear
Who cannot hear . . . who cannot hear.

Let poets pattern pretty words:
For lovely largesse - bless you, Birds!

Robert W. Service

A day at the beach would be grand
however, the weather makes for warmer digs
a furnace blasting out the heat
with a luncheon sandwich of cold meat!
LOL
