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...

You Are the Thumb
You're unique and flexible. And you defy any category.
Mentally strong and agile, you do things your own way. And you do them well.
You are a natural leader... but also truly a loner. You inspire many but connect with few.

You get along well with: The Middle Finger

Stay away from: The Pinky
What Finger Are You?

The Poet And The Bird
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Said a people to a poet-—” Go out from among us straightway!
While we are thinking earthly things, thou singest of divine.
There’s a little fair brown nightingale, who, sitting in the gateways
Makes fitter music to our ears than any song of thine!”

The poet went out weeping-—the nightingale ceased chanting;
“Now, wherefore, O thou nightingale, is all thy sweetness done?”
I cannot sing my earthly things, the heavenly poet wanting,
Whose highest harmony includes the lowest under sun.”

The poet went out weeping,-—and died abroad, bereft there-—
The bird flew to his grave and died, amid a thousand wails:-—
And, when I last came by the place, I swear the music left there
Was only of the poet’s song, and not the nightingale’s.

WORD FOR THE DAY, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 2007, DESICCATE ^
Posted by Soaring Feather to Slip18

The Real Poison of Political Correctness

To strike fear in the hearts of people
to DESICCATE free speech for some
while it’s true words do hurt,
I’ve been on the receiving end of many
to shut the world’s mouth is an error
to DESICCATE free thought and expression
is an enemy of our nation at it’s worse.

I don’t agree with what Don Imus said,
it’s a cultural expression used by rap singers
if ya dig that stuff....it’s okay I guess
for some, but not for others.

Flip Flop and I don’t mean shoes.

Apologies, not worth a damn
a lively hood will go
we are all human and all will error
and be sure no forgiveness there.

This earth no Utopia,
a whipping up of rhetoric
the temperature to increase for sure
and constant yelling it’s not fair!
Who the hell ever said it was?
We are born we get life,
we live it as best we can, improving as much as we can.

Lady, WOW, you are 10% shy of being full Right Brained.

There is a boo boo in mine though, I don’t like sports that much, only hockey. I do like dogs and had many of them, I have no pets now. I have always kept cats since I was a little kid.

Yupper, and as far as being analytical I am not, at least in terms of math. Just have no desire to think that way.

It’s good to be a dreamer.

It’s no wonder I have trouble with nouns!

LOL nouns are easy

people, places, things

Pronouns are proper names

I hate the rest of the stuff. ;)

Diagramming sentences drove me nuts and still does. I don’t care about it.

I’m an artist and teach art one night a week. I’m so right brained I have an awfully hard time remembering names, proper nouns, which makes for a lot of laughs at art class.

Well, I meant pronouns, then. It’s proper names that kill me.

Any class that has laughs is a class with a good learning environment. Did you plan it that way? 8^)
