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...

I was too, busy for 40 years to be creative. That came later in life. I guess I was creative in another way.

I had a boring job and was able to fill in time by writing. The writing became stronger and the job went by the way. I worked at other things, none of which was creative. ;)

[Soaring Feather]

You know what Lady?? I cannot spell worth a damn.

[NY Attitude]

Your creative skills were there all of the time. They were just napping. 8^)

[Soaring Feather]

You ain’t kidding they were in a coma. LOL

[Lady Jag]

I didn’t plan it that way, but I work it that way. Make them laugh rather than be embarrassed about not being able to remember Renoir’s name or something . . .

[NY Attitude]

Well, they certainly have blossomed like a caterpillar emerging from a cocoon to become a butterfly.

[NY Attitude]

There was something about a guy that cut off his ear.

[Soaring Feather]

Yup, I took a chance
Columbus did and found
a new world

I listened for the muse
who tortured me in early days
it was she who taught me to fly.

She is a hard task master
at times will deprive me of sleep
until I do her bidding most complete

when she is done with me
she’ll sit nearby my ear
and when traffic gets to heavy
she brings me words of cheer. ;)

[Lady Jag]

That guy didn’t really cut off his ear.

What did he cut off?

[Lady Jag]

It looks like you can spell worth a damn.

Do you use the spell checker all the time?

[Soaring Feather]

Often enough, yes. Really glad we have spell check.

Also, the browser I use tells me when I have mispelled a word.
Like now it says mispelled is spelled wrong, it is not. Got in a big fight over that one.

[Lady Jag]

What browser is that that spell checks?

[Soaring Feather]

Puts a red line under doubtful spelling. Mozilla Firefox.

[Lady Jag]

Cool! I didn’t know that about Firefox.

[Soaring Feather]

It’s a pretty good browser. There are a lot of bells and whistles that I choose not to download. Recently it updated so I am current. It does not allow word wrap.

[NY Attitude]

I think that it was attached to something that protruded from his pajamas. (Big Grin)

[Lady Jag]

Yes! The string, you know, the cinch string around the waist of his pajama bottoms was way too long. The nearest cutting implement was an old razor blade which he tried, but only manged to cut his finger. Infuriated, he jumped up from his chair and flung the razor blade. Finding the scissors, he headed back to the chair and tripped over his shoes. He landed flat on the floor and nicked his ear on the blade he’d thrown. At this point, he was so enraged that he cut the rest off. It was his earlobe. The only part of the above story that is true is he cut off his earlobe.

[NY Attitude]

My goodness, you are very creative. Good one. LOL

[Lady Jag]

Sometimes it pours out, sometimes it drips.

[NY Attitude]

I know what you mean For me it seems that a “Brain Cloud” is present at the worst of moments. I guess that it is a sign of getting old-timers disease. LOL.

“Brain Cloud” lifted from the movie “Joe versus the volcano” starring Tom Hanks.
