My Dragonfly 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...

That’s a very cool link, but it’s not a poem, it’s a motorcycle! I’d like to have one of those though, it looks spiffy!

[Soaring Feather]

It’s a poem to me. LOL It is well done. ;)

American Eagle

The American Eagle, flies so high and so proud. With its wings, spread out above the crowd. This symbol of freedom, for all to see. It represents the greatest nation, that there will ever be. War bonnets were made, from the feathers of this bird. Indians rode into battle, there war cries to be heard. Yes this mighty Eagle, that we see overhead. Watched as this young country, suffered and bled. And, just like the Eagle, our country grew strong. We showed, the rest of the world, that we belong. Don't take life for granted, and I'll tell you why. If you set back on your heels, the world will just pass you by. Take a look at the Eagle, who fights to survive. Look to tomorrow, be glad you're alive. The future is yours, but you must make a stand. I'll be like the Eagle, I'll fight for this land. This is my home, and it always will be. Just like the Eagle, I'm so glad that we're free. So when you see this Eagle, stand up straight and tall. Be proud of your birth place, yes give this country your all. Fight for oppression, take the time, to care about others. We all are God's children, we're sisters and brothers. Fight for the Eagle, your country and flag. There is no place that's better, and I don't mean to brag. Written by Doc Wilde,

Hwody, Lady Jag!

Terrific graphic and poem. Thanks.

How goes the day??

Quiet around here, feels like rain sometime today.

[Lady Jag]

I have a sleeping problem. Slept 12 hours last night and still tired after a week of sleepy days and long sleeping nights.

How about you? Better than that, I hope.

[Soaring Feather]

Well, I have been getting my ZZZZZs in for sure. Have not taken any afternoon naps lately. I think you are feeling the Solstice coming on. Those things affect me like crazy.

Another thing I think hits us is the damned time change thing, it takes me forever to reorient my self.

[Lady Jag]

I’m still gargling your delicious coffee and it might be starting to work.

It’s a quandary because if your hot, black, strong coffee works, I will have to.

[NY Attitude]

What beautiful flowers. I hope that your day went well.

[NY Attitude]

Good evening Soaring Feather. How was your day?

[NY Attitude]

Thank you. My day was fairly pleasant and dull. Couldn’t get fired up over anything.

[NY Attitude]

Great poem and graphic.

A friend of mine (from Iceland) and I are playing at riddles in poetic form (quatrains = four lines, lines 1 & 2 rhyme, and lines 3&4 rhyme) I thought this might be fun to try here with the wits we have here.

My buddy’s;

Through narrows ships I navigate.
Now I likewise aviate.
An original model of a jack.
An instrument clearing a railway track.

answer: PILOT

Now for mine;

Under the surface housing men
Or a heading under the heading and again
A shorter version of replacement teacher
or added to merge to go below a feature

[Soaring Feather]

Uninspired, could not get fired
so I just retired to the lounge
and found a squirrel after the finch seed
which angered me throughly so
the need to curb my temper
to not let that squirrel have it
with a hammer.

What am I ??

[Soaring Feather]

Good evening Kathy, thanks for the lovely music, love The Statler Bros.

[Lady Jag]

You.
