The Dragonflies' Lair~Thread XXXXI
Poets of the Dragonflies' Lair | August 9, 2007 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 08/06/2007 3:44:50 AM PDT by 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...

Exquisite poetry and graphic.

Are you well rested now Lady after your travels? Always takes me a good while to recoup.

The last thing you should be is depressed. Don't be a wuss. Buck up, get mad and join the millions of Conservatives who stand against the left.

I’m more tired than last night. Had to get up early today for a dr. appt. in Boston. I’ll tell you, there is no rest for the raunchy. Tomorrow’s a little get together with the family dames, so restedness should come soon.

How are you, little lady? Still riding the surf or have you your land legs yet?

Land legs are getting stronger, I can walk more quickly now-this pleases me. I still am sleeping a fair bit which is good.

Getting darned sick and tired of gloomy skies, low temps and high humidity. Just disgusting, I am dressed for winter weather trying to stay warm. I have every light on in the living room trying to expose myself to light, lifting my spirit somewhat. Tomorrow temps are going into the 90s, just nuts the way they fluctuate. Should dry out some then I would hope.

These cloudy skie are brighter than a movie theater, rent some nifty movies for fun. You could eat your funny bones.

Good afternoon Miss Feather, I've finally caught up to the current thread . . . y'all have been chatty . . .;-)

I'm so sorry to read that you've been ill and sincerely hope you're fully recovered and full of P&V.

I'd really appreciate it if you'd re-add me to your ping list and I'll try my best to contribute a haiku, poem or two.

Love and Hugs, Hope

Hello Hope and Glory! So nice to see you again ready to write.

Dear one, you are back on the list. I just did not want to flood you with pings. ;0)

I am much better today, each day a little progress toward normal for me.

You have been missed and I am truly very happy to have you here!

Love and Hugs, Soaring Feather

Good morning everyone.

August - Mary Oliver,


"When the blackberries hang
swollen in the woods, in the brambles
nobody owns, I spend


all day among the high
branches, reaching
my ripped arms, thinking


of nothing, cramming
the black honey of summer
into my mouth; all day my body


accepts what it is. In the dark
creeks that run by there is
this thick paw of my life darting among


the black bells, the leaves; there is
this happy tongue."
