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 everyone.




Are we to look at cherry blossoms only in full bloom,the moon only when it is cloudless? To long for the moon while looking on the rain, to lower the blinds and be unaware of the passing of the spring - these are even more deeply moving. Branches about to blossom or gardens strewn with flowers are worthier of our admiration.

Another Silver Splash of shine
lovely images combine
the color red with the gleam of metal
glowing in cyber space kettle.

Thanks so much!!

Cherry Blossoms Adrift
 
  Pink petals passing
Scents above so high
Painted porcelain perfection
Blossoms caress the sky

Swaying silent shroud
Suitors strolling by
Pink petals passing
Lover's gentle sigh

Pastel hues falling
Slow fluttering grace
Pink petals passing
Lining streams in lace

Pink petals passing
Smoothest transit by
Soft essence floating
In most subtle lullaby

Inducing springtime slumber
Upon a satin shore
Sailing with the current
Pink petals pass before

(1999)

Are you?

Frankly, I’m not sure if I am. I still know I ate too much...

The day is going well, so far. I am on my second cup of coffee and the cobwebs are beginning to diminish. LOL

Yup, feeling great thanks.

Sick of the cold, and my complaining gets old I know. Any warmer your way??

Well, sounds like you’re gonna make it!

If you can get down one coffee, a second cup is usually the answer. ;)

It is 50 now with just a slight breeze, nicer than we’ve had. This week isn’t expected to stack up too nicely with rain and possibly even snow over the course.

I think spring is plotting a frigid-to-frying transition.
