My Dragon Fly 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...

Morning, ‘Tude!

[MEG33]

The sun is shining and the wind isn't blowing..a nice day here.Love the poems and that NYA is taking it easy..Couldn't resist this.
;o)

[Lady Jag]

Didn’t know the poem as a child but I swung high to see the fields and the cows. This poem brought back beautiful childhood memories.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, this is a great graphic! We love hanging around with you as well Meg. We do have fun! Glad you have nice weather, it’s depressing weather here, however it is normal for November.

This poem is so special, because my uncle bought me the book

A Child’s Garden of Verses, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Uncle and one school teacher taught me the mystery and love of poetry.

Group hug!

We had two days of rain..and not much sun for days before so I was ready. I am getting more good nuthatch sightings..Perhaps it or they are feeling more secure.

I am home resting and chomping at the bit. During Thanksgiving and Friday my coffee consumption was way down from what it normally is (160 oz.). I am not sure if the restlessness was due to the startup of drinking coffee on Saturday (but only 1/2 of a pot). Could be the effects of caffeine withdrawal but I do not have any nervous twitching. Today, I have already consumed almost a full pot and my headache is gradually diminishing. We will see how the rest of the day goes.

[NY Attitude]

Morning tomkow6. Hope that all is well with you.

[Soaring Feather]

Awww, that’s sweet, thanks Lady.

[Lady Jag]

Whenever the moon and stars are set,
     Whenever the wind is high,
All night long in the dark and wet,
     A man goes riding by.
Late in the night when the fires are out,
Why does he gallop and gallop about?

Whenever the trees are crying aloud,
     And ships are tossed at sea,
By, on the highway, low and loud,
     By at the gallop goes he.
By at the gallop he goes, and then
By he comes back at the gallop again.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh good on the nuthatch sightings. Sometimes I can see them in the huge trees across the street. I have binoculars, but never think to get them out.

Birds are such a good topic to bring people together, I found Tomkow6 that way. ROTFLOL

[Lady Jag]

It has been reported that caffeine withdrawal can cause headaches. Keeping on drinking.

[Lady Jag]

Tomkow6 in an inveterate bird watcher.

[Soaring Feather]

Could be the effects of caffeine withdrawal but I do not have any nervous twitching.
No, you sweat and shook that all out with the fever. Water, NYA, you need to drink water, get those meds out of your system -flush, you need to flush. Did they not tell you that?? I'll get the redheaded nurse out after you!

HUGS Make The Day Seem Brighter

The Land of Nod


From Child's Garden of Verses


From breakfast on through all the day
At home among my friends I stay,
But every night I go abroad
Afar into the land of Nod.


All by myself I have to go,
With none to tell me what to do--
All alone beside the streams
And up the mountain-sides of dreams.


The strangest things are these for me,
Both things to eat and things to see,
And many frightening sights abroad
Till morning in the land of Nod.


Try as I like to find the way,
I never can get back by day,
Nor can remember plain and clear
The curious music that I hear.


Robert Louis Stevenson

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, got that on the head.
