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...

It's raining, but I'm leaving now for the park strip and the annual
Salvation Army pancake breakfast.

Yes it was. I was sooooooo lay back today. Didn’t feel like doing anything but chillin out in the 85 degree weather. I don’t get many days like this so when I do I just do as little as possible. I hope that your day was pleasant and uneventful.

Oh, it has rained all day and is miserable and damp. I spent the afternoon wrapped in my wool blanket on the couch sleeping and dreaming. ;) So glad I did not have anything to do today but be lazy.

Are they doing fireworks in your neck of the woods?

Our city never does anything on the day it is supposed to happen, we had fireworks on Monday night. I was able to see all the aerials from my front porch. Grand show, too.

I am happy that you enjoyed them. They are planning to have fireworks at Great America Amusement Park. I just may venture out to the street to see them. The show usually is about 20 minutes. If I were to drive, I would be stuck in gridlock traffic for a long time on the highway.

Oh no need to be stuck in traffic for a few fireworks, when you can walk a few yards to enjoy them. ;)

Our grand finish lasts for 20 minutes. Boom boom all
over the place.

You are so correct about that. I just had to run out and get some Nathan’s hot dogs for dinner. Not that I am going to eat more than 2.

Happy Birthday America

~God Bless The USA~

I enjoyed a sour dough burger and a chocolate shake while
watching the Washinton 4th..now New York..on to Boston..
Our fireworks don't start til 10 and I won't be able to see except on the local news.
Watched some of "Patton" again ..appreciating those who
protect our freedom.

Nice graphic for America’s birthday, thank you.

I have been snoozing and watching TV, watching Johnny Cash now, always loved his music. This is the San Quentin show.
