Poets of the Dragonflies' Lair | August 9, 2007 | Soaring Feather

[Soaring Feather]

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...

Good morning everyone.

[Soaring Feather]

So sorry to bother, would you kindly change the date in the title to August 6, 2007?

Thank You.

Good morning...That’s a lovely graphic, Soaring Feather! Hope you are improving day by day.

[Soaring Feather]

August rushes by like desert rainfall,
A flood of frenzied upheaval,
Expected,
But still catching me unprepared.
Like a matchflame
Bursting on the scene,
Heat and haze of crimson sunsets.
Like a dream
Of moon and dark barely recalled,
A moment,
Shadows caught in a blink.
Like a quick kiss;
One wishes for more
But it suddenly turns to leave,
Dragging summer away.

Hi Meg, improving slowly, thanks.

Glad you like the graphic, it’s mystical like August.

[MEG33]

~Good Ole Summertime~
Lovely poem and graphic,too.
Our summer doesn't really end and fall begin until October. Last Thanksgiving weekend here was "no sweater" weather,too..I recall my neighbor's tree was a vision of gold and orange.

[Soaring Feather]

Great fun graphic! Thanks.

Good morning Soaring Feather. Beautiful graphic. Hope that you are feeling 100%.

[NY Attitude]

Very intriguing. When I used to caress my guitar, the only thing I remember was the dog howling. No, wait a minute, it must have been my singing. LOL.

[Lost Dutchman]

I heard a guitar should look like a woman.

I don’t know many women with no arms, no legs, a long neck and 6 ears. *hehe*

[Lady Jag]

You coulda done what I did and not sing along.

When I caressed my guitar, the last thing I thought of was women.

[NY Attitude]

I was banned from the house and made to sing in the garage. I may have been singing the “Mean Woman Blues” but I cannot remember. Things like that happen when one gets as old as I am. LOL.

[Lady Jag]

And here I was under the impression that guys thought women had 6 ears . . .

[MEG33]

My children thought I had 6 ears!

[NY Attitude]

I acussed my Mother of having radar ears and eyes. LOL

Been out of the link for a while, bit under the weather
back up to speed (or at least as much speed as I can get up to these days!)

My cat, passed on a while back, and so this poem.

Ode to a Cat

Black faced
Shorthaired royalty
With a tri-color coat of regal shading
Attitude, all attitude
And enough kitten to entice you
Twelve years in her reign
or eighty-four in her years
yet, it was not enough
so her passing was rough
so there was and will be tears
but we had to stop the pain
as only love would let us do
so I say it wasn’t easy dude
and the memories are far from fading
for the depth of love you see
sets memory’s pace

[Lady Jag]

Most mothers have 6 ears.

The rest are liberals.

[Lady Jag]

See. I could play almost anywhere if I didn’t sing.
