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...

Lady Jag started it. ;0)

[NY Attitude]

Does this mean that I still will be able to listen to the Platters? Please, please, please. (Huge grin)

[Soaring Feather]

Will just have to see about that, surely I will not be so generous when posting them, a trickle here a dribble there. ;)

[NY Attitude]

Oh thank you, thank you! (deep sobs).

[Soaring Feather]

Well, all the same- WOO HOO to you for #400!

[Soaring Feather]

Yeah, with your sobs, next thing I know you will be wanting to trade me for a box of rocks-just like Tomkow6.

*GRINS*

[NY Attitude]

Oh kind and passionate one
to forgive me for the things I've done
in the fact that you will have your wish
for no more will I speak of the talking/singing fish.

To listen to the Platters is a great joy
it has been since I was a little boy
and if they were taken away
it would be a sad, sad day.

(HUGE GRINS)

April Is Poetry Month


Mathilde Blind, April Rain,

The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers,
The cuckoo through the April rain,
Calls once again.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm not surprised....that's why I'm not willing to say spring is here. LOL!

[Soaring Feather]

Mercy from the Court of Plebes
you ask and are forgiven.

Not bad for a plea of mercy
thou dost ply the feather well
as the joys of younger times
recall hearing The Platters croon
their poetry of tune.

Grownups were in charge back then
Politically Correct Universities
where not yet doing deconstruction
that happened with the doping sixties crowd
let it all hang out and happen.

[Soaring Feather]

Always careful with the words
Kathy of Alaska is not a nerd
Spring has not sprung in her
great land, but the eagle soars
over Potter's Marsh, the marsh birds
are building nests to carry on the species
Wondrous land of glaciers, mighty mountains
and jovial folk.

[NY Attitude]

Ah yes, the "Toke up, tune out and drop out" crowd. Great poetry. I am glad that I am forgiven. You make me feel like dancing, dance the night away. But it is a little early yet.

[Soaring Feather]

Happy Feet Syndrome?
Next thing I know you'll be showing up in a tux! LOL

[NY Attitude]

But of course. 8^). As an added note to your post 410, The students of that time that had become teachers and have perpetuated the same mentality by have passing it on to their students. I find that many of todays graduates can not do the things that we did without help of calculators and such. Their vocabulary is atrocious.

Bobby Day~Rockin' Robin

[NY Attitude]

I saw him perform it live in the late 50's early 60's while I was stationed in Pensacola, Florida. He was quite a showman.

[Soaring Feather]

I am reading a book titledThe Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature
Author Elizabeth Kantor. Ph.D.

Wonderful book.

[NY Attitude]

Thanks, I will check it out.

[Soaring Feather]

KEWL!

Great song really.

I saw Tony Orlando when I was in DC a couple of years ago. Great talent both of them.

[Soaring Feather]
