[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...

Sorry to hear your kitty passed on, it was best to not let the cat suffer.

Hope you will return to hail health soon.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.


So sorry folks, I have had a set back and will not be able to be around, I need to stay very quiet.

[MEG33]

I am so sorry..Take care. I have a poem and picture I'll post.

Wild Sweet Peas..Near The Beach At Sunset
Before Sunset by Algernon Charles Swinburne

Love's twilight wanes in heaven above,
On earth ere twilight reigns:
Ere fear may feel the chill thereof,
Love's twilight wanes.

Ere yet the insatiate heart complains
'Too much, and scarce enough,'
The lip so late athirst refrains.

Soft on the neck of either dove
Love's hands let slip the reins:
And while we look for light of love
Love's twilight wanes.

[NY Attitude]

Good morning Soaring Feather. Sorry to hear that you had a relapse. Take care of yourself and please get well soon.

[NY Attitude]

Good morning MEG33, interesting poem.

[MEG33]

I liked the picture so I just “reached for a poem”. I feel I must post an occasional poem to keep my membership..LOL

[NY Attitude]

How is your new computer? Hope all is well.

Feel better, Feather!

Inspiration

How often have I started out With no thought in my noodle, And wandered here and there about, Where fancy bade me toddle; Till feeling faunlike in my glee I've voiced some gay distiches, Returning joyfully to tea, A poem in my britches. A-squatting on a thymy slope With vast of sky about me, I've scribbled on an envelope The rhymes the hills would shout me; The couplets that the trees would call, The lays the breezes proffered . . . Oh no, I didn't think at all - I took what Nature offered. For that's the way you ought to write - Without a trace of trouble; Be super-charged with high delight And let the words out-bubble; Be voice of vale and wood and stream Without design or proem: Then rouse from out a golden dream To find you've made a poem. So I'll go forth with mind a blank, And sea and sky will spell me; And lolling on a thymy bank I'll take down what they tell me; As Mother Nature speaks to me Her words I'll gaily docket, So I'll come singing home to tea A poem in my pocket. Robert W. Service

My new computer is fine..I am learning a little more about it every day..I have all my desktop files on a thumb drive so I can choose to use this one anywhere..I like it best for reading..I’d rather do most of my graphics and posting sitting at the desktop. I had to rest my back after using the heavy pruners and saw yesterday and enjoyed having the computer in bed.

Sea Change

Deep, deep, oh is this, the dark blue sea
Washing upon the shore here beside me
And I watch hypnotic waves as they flee
Across the beach of Time seeking the lee

As on high the gulls cry as if in some pain
And on the horizon the clouds hint of rain
A conflict that mimics humans calm and sane
Or depicts the possibilities twix dull and fain

[MEG33]

You made me giggle! LOL

[MEG33]

Thank you for the poetry!

Many thanks, you did it up most nice!

Meditating under an Arbor

As soft as silk the caressing breeze
Whispering among the flowers
Carries the scent of life in the garden
Under a cerulean sky we share

Amazing how we’ve come to care
And find so much at last to ken
Be it in a garden or an ivory tower
Or a bench under the linden trees
