The Dragonflies' Lair ~ Thread XXXIX~ June ~ July~ August
Poets of The Dragonflies' Lair | June 19, 2007 | Soaring Feather

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...

Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP)
Your personality type is goofy, imaginative, relaxed, and brilliant.

Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 2% of all women and 6% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.
How Rare Is Your Personality?

No wonder I feel lonely most of the time. Sheesh! Long time no see, Ms. Soaring Feather!

I guess the “Daisy” song goes along with the song that had a woman named “Lucille”.

I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that.
This mission is too important for
me to allow you to jeopardize it.

Favorite places while visited in dreams often times are re-visited. I know that I dream of Rome often.

Poetry? Sigh. Nothing moves me anymore, and I just hate nihilism and nihilstic stylings. So I mostly keep quiet.
;)

In other news, I stay busy working for a crazy company (I mean, “crazy, weird” is their stock-in-trade, they make their money that way. Never a dull moment!)

At night, I tell ghost stories to the tourists and make damn good money at it. Leaves very little time for chit-chat around here, unfortunately.

It’s nice to see you doing so well, dear heart!

Charles Dickens walks into a bar and orders a martini.
The bartender asks, “Olive or Twist?”

Ah, so sorry your muse is silent, but I do understand when one is working all energy goes toward that.

Glad you like your job sounds like fun. My friend the sculptress, is a story teller also, you met her vie the Internet.

So nice of you to stop around, it has been a spell since we have had a chat.

The Dragonflies’ Lair continues on which pleases me greatly.

Ah, but now you’ve inspired a rill. Let’s see...

I’ve never regretted time
I’ve spent at the beach.
I do not ‘comb
but wait for treasure...

a starfish abandoned to the shore
appears at my surprised feet.
a sand dollar is offered up
as though I were a panhandler
with a sign thus:
will slack for soul-food.

Or a proffered sunset so beautiful you could wish to
cast away to an eternal shore
of the cosmic magnificence
and survive on dreams of light and color

Too Hot, Too Humid, Too Much Sand in the Car
all stand as sentinels against the ungrateful.

But the treasure-haunted soul
is like the sand,
it waits for the sea
to bring what it will
