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...

Summer

Summer time is finally here School is out and fishing time near. Barefooted boys and fishing poles, Down to the creek, to the ole swimming hole. Running through the woods, along the river bank, That old boat they used went and sank. A can of worms, a hook and line, Looking for a fishing pole, if they can find Two good friends who share their fun, They run and jump and chase the sun. Running here, and running there. Not any worries, not a care But too soon, it must all end For these two that were good friends. Summer comes and summer moves on. A few summers in your life, then you're grown. But there are days we can recall When we were friends, we had it all. Doug Beggs

It started from a 4 inch cactus and now is approaching 6 ft over a 4 year time frame.

Today’s good. It’s a hide inside day, the humidity is so bad. Tomorrow will be drier and much more comfortable.

Sorry to hear about your weather conditions. However, the sun is shining here and the temperature is 75 degrees.

A Ping I Plead, From Thee To Me
That I Might See The Coming Glee
Of This Wondrous Thread That I Have Discovered
Please Add Me Today, That I Might Be Covered.

What A Glorious Thing I Have Found Here To Treasure,
This Beautiful Thread, Thank Thee Soaring Feather!

[Soaring Feather]

I welcome thee to the Dragonflies’ Lair
listen each day for the sound of a ping in the air
sometimes we fly, sometimes we soar
at times the muse moves one of us to write
in that case we do it right
nights we dream of exotic places
little faes, and dragons, in odd little places.

So nice you have discovered us.

In case you have not seen our Anthology
a link was posted early on in this thread.

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years.
Perhaps it's time to take a reflective look
at the core beliefs of a culture
that values home, family, country and God.
  If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists
who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen
 or so rednecks to back me up.
 
 Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- 
that's what rednecks are made of. 
 I hope I am one of those. 
If you feel the same, pass this on to your
 redneck friends. ...Ya'll know who ya'  are...
 
 You might be a redneck if: 
It never occurred to you to be offended
by the phrase, "One nation, under God."
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You still say "Christmas"
instead of "Winter Festival."
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You bow your head when someone prays.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You stand and place your hand over your heart
whenever they play the National Anthem.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect,
 and always have.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You've never burned an American flag. 
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You know what you believe and
aren't  afraid to say so,
no matter who is listening.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You respect your elders and
expect your kids to do the same.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You'd give your last dollar to a friend. 
 
 If you're seeing this, it is because
I believe that you, like me,
may have just enough Red Neck
in you to share some of the same
core beliefs as those mentioned above.



...and...

God Bless the USA !!!
