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...

Nice picture and poem. The poem is a little deep.

Howdy NYA, actually the lousy weather has my attitude a tiny bit bent. It’s cold and raining, UGH!
To: Soaring Feather
Sorry to hear that. On the bright side, it isn’t ice and snow.

It is a good day to curl up with a book by the open hearth and eat some soup.

No, not yet. 80% of snow.

I am sick of soup, even my own. ;)

No, not yet. 80% chance of snow-coming today.

I had trouble reading the style and appreciate your having looked it up. Looks too mathematical to me.
What does the expert feather have to say?

OMG, I can’t do Math, and I hate structure to the core.
I do not know how anyone can get a poem out with all this stuff to worry about.
Haiku is as far as I will tread into a structured poem.

Gerard Manley Hopkins-Creater of that form of Sonnet, probably would have been a rocket scientist in today’s world. ;)
A real nerd!

To: All
Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garmet of Repentance fling
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly -- and Lo! The Bird is on the Wing.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
- Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

When March goes on forever,
And April's twice as long,
Who gives a damn if spring has come,
As long as winter's gone.
