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...

This is my first real poem. I am definitely not a poet, but I have tried and am proud of myself.

First photos that look like our cats:

Photo of a cat that looks like Simba

Photo of a kitten that looks like Shadow upon awakening.

ODE TO THE CATS

Our cats have a
very, very nice house
Simba sleeps on his chair
Shadow sleeps on the couch.

Simba, the elder
chases the kitten around
or sometimes Shadow
pounces him to the ground.

Shadow hides Simba's toys
where they cannot be found.
We find them in the couch
with all the Velcro unbound.

The feathers are everywhere
the Velcro must have failed
for Shadow has sharp little teeth
and hides them in her dark kitty veil.

Her name is Shadow or Mouse
because you can't see her.
She has lots of hidey-holes
which blend into her silken kitty fur.

The reason we have Shadow
is Simba and she were dotting
cat nose prints on the window.
We opened the screen door anticipating.

Simba watched her walk in.
We thought "uh-oh, a cat fight perhaps?"
The opposite is true
because they are best of friends.

HAPPY 4th ANNIVERSARY,
SOARING FEATHER!

Your welcome Bestest Girlfriend.Boy does time fly by-4 years:)

[Soaring Feather]

Amazing isn’t it, hard for me to believe, too. I guess being persistent helps out some. Seems like yesterday we were both learning to post graphics. LOL Remember the fun we used to have doing that. When Karen was in Iraq....wow.

[fatima]

I remember,remember when we were all picking out a prom dress for Mary.That was fun.We would all fly somewhere-Heehee.I really thought you were a pilot:)

[Soaring Feather]

OH MY Gosh those were fun times. I always had to fly and drove poor Kathy nuts!! Tonk would put up the transportation for the ride and and I would aways change it to flying. What a scream and we had real pilots with us then. LOL

Oh man those were such fun days.

.I really thought you were a pilot:)
ROTFLOL!!!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Oh yes, I remember picking out Mary’s prom dress, what a hoot that was. Such good memories we have bestest girlfriend.

And thank God Karen came home safely. We did a heap of praying for that woman.

[fatima]

Heeheee,I even figured out what plane you had.A little blue one.My husband just turned around and looked at me because I am laughing.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, see we can still stir up those great times. Oh man, I would grab any plane I could get my hands on. LOL

Do you remember those sleigh rides with TEXOKIE driving the sleigh, ROTFLO!! She would say VAROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!! We tore up the place with TEXOKIE driving. *GRINS*

[alfa6]

Greetings o gracious and lovely Ms Feather :-)

I had a hard time making up my mind on fours for the Lairs 4th. I had F4F Wildcats and a F4D Skyray even an F4 Phantom or two but I’ve always thought that was a cool painting.

Mrs alfa6 says howdy back, she is busy working with her embroidery machine.

Regards

alfa6 ;>}

[fatima]

I remember and we had to get all the cats on-heeheee.

[Soaring Feather]

Well, ya done good alfa, I can always trust you to make the right decision regarding planes, except of course if I am flying it. LOL

I never did embroidery with a machine, always hand done stuff for me. I love what people turn out on those machines.

You have been posting some right fine sorties on Friday and Saturday nights. I always enjoy looking at those posts.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh gee that’s right and we did it too!! What a scream!

[Soaring Feather]

I'm into these now alfa. LOL

[fatima]

Remember when we both had insomnia at times and I would come on and write silly poems and you were still up and we would have a marathon-Remember the flight to Mars-great memories:)

[Soaring Feather]

Oh my gosh that flight to Mars was the best ever. And dang if the pilot did not leave us stranded out there. Is that the one you meant, or was it the Mars Thread??

Yes, we did write little poems-I had forgotten that.

We should dig out one of those old threads just for the heck of it. Remember the Mid Night Raiders?? That was all of we woman back then. Oh man the places we went -hilarious.

Remember radu always getting sick on the plane rides?? LOL And Kathy would pound on her sore knees?? She was always late to the night flight-of course, she was still working.
Someone had to volunteer for clean up duty, usually radu, someone would get snacks for after we landed. LOL

We were all there at the right time and what a team we all made, each one adding their own special gifts. And Mr. Tonkin was traffic cop when we did the car racing. What a scream.

Man we spent a lot of hours together Fatima. A lot of hours.
