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...

Good morning Soaring Feather. Nice picture. During a few evenings while I was in Iran, the power was cut to the city. The view of the stars is phenomenal when it is completely dark.

Spring ~ John Clare

And fairy month of waking mirth
From whom our joys ensue
Thou early gladder of the earth
Thrice welcome here anew
With thee the bud unfolds to leaves
The grass greens on the lea
And flowers their tender boon receives
To bloom and smile with thee

Interesting poem. When was it written?

John Clare (1793 to 1864) was an English poet from rural Northamptonshire,

I sort of knew that it was vintage poetry just because of some of his terminology. Have you gotten out the shovel, salt and sand yet? Stay warm and safe.

Yes, the thee thing, I use the Old English when I write some of the time. It’s a shame we do not use these terms anymore. (click)Joseph Campbell, said, “Thee and Thou” are terms of respect, I do so agree with him.

The snow is not sticking and I don’t think it will, never the less it keeping come in fits and spurts. Thanks staying warm- safe always. ;)

I'm not brave enough to go to market today,
I think I'll stay home and just slay a dragon or two.

You got that right!

That’s why I sit on it.

So I’ll know where it goes.
