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...

High Holy Days

Snow so softly falls silent out of the ebony sky
a blanket of forgetfulness over autumn's litter
and small lights strung challenges the stars above
lighting the season on porch, window, and trees
I smile as I walk tonight, for even sadness flees
for now we will celebrate the Season of His Dove
remembering what he would accept for us so bitter
and in doing so, set even my old sad soul to fly

[WayzataJOHNN]

What? No one awake?

Oh save me, from the sad realization that these folks NAP!

Well off to the book and another chapter! Chat with you all later from the bookstore/coffee shop

[WayzataJOHNN]

WOW, talk about your ‘slugabeds’!

I’m here at the coffee shop, (got here at 5:30) got my favorite seat by the fireplace, and starting in on another chapter in my book and another coffee.

Outta those racks, and grab your socks.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.

Fire up your imagination with a fat cat in the Morning Glory.

[Soaring Feather]

Oooooo, this dragonfly haiku is wonderful!!

LOL well on the East Coast, we are racking up (9) that's nine hours of sleep these nights, oh, 'tis wonderful!

[WayzataJOHNN]

Sleep?

[Soaring Feather]

You’re not sleeping much I take it. I go into fits at different times of the year regarding sleep, sometime she comes and sometime she gets lost out there-—somewhere.

[tomkow6]

Good morning, Ms feather!

 

 

Introducing

my new "Fat Cat"

Esmerlda!

[Soaring Feather]

Beautiful, Esmeralda. Glad you have a new cat. She looks a little like the original “Fat Cat.”

[tomkow6]

Yeah, me too!

"Rotten kid" & I had a HELL of a time talking Mom into letting us adopt her.

She's 3 years old; her papers SAY she weights 10 lbs (seems more like 18-20). She's a sweetie, & KRAZY, too!

[Soaring Feather]

That’s great you got an older cat, often times people don’t want them. To me it makes sense, kittens can really tear up a place-been there done that.

She has a good home with you and Rotten Kid! Mom, will like her too, but she may not show it. ;0)

Gotta wonder why the previous owner let her go. Maybe they moved into a place that does not allow animals. Or well, they all sorts of reasons.

Nice cat Tom!

[tomkow6]

She even has her "own" necklace!

[Soaring Feather]

Oh she is really pretty, love the buff color on her neck. Oh cool, a cat with her own special necklace.

[WayzataJOHNN]

Now that is a Classy Kat, you got a real character there, one look in those eyes tell me that!

[WayzataJOHNN]

"You’re not sleeping much I take it"

I have a new Sleep Number bed, and the time I do sleep is
incredible. No more backaches from my old back injury,
and I wake up so rested, I go for hours with ease.

Over the last three months, I've seen such a huge change in Nancy
and I from the quality of sleep we're getting and the energy we're
bringing to all we do. I seriously suggest anyone who wants
to see what their like, go to a Radison Hotel and try one!

[Soaring Feather]

You know that really makes sense, I mean the number of firmness or softness for each individual.

My mattress is hotel firm - was bought new in the 80’s and is like a rock still. I do have a space age mattress thingy which goes on top of the mattress, that helps. I have a water bed frame and do not wish to give it up, cause it has four storage drawers for whatever. I need those drawers. Old homes do not come with closets.

Well, glad you two are finding relief.

[Soaring Feather]

Seal dancing the Irish Jig
Note, there is a commercial at the start. ;0)

[WayzataJOHNN]

FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great laugh and a fine dancer, imagine who’d a thunk, a Sea Lion from Ireland!

Cat

Come stalking, come stalking, my pristine and perfect Cat. Come sly, silent, and with deadly intention, to kill with a cool, breath-taking invention. My diabolic and quixotical Cat! Come stalking, come stalking, my proud and imperious Cat. Whose sleek, solitary, yet sensual existence, so enjoys her intense tit-for-tat persistence, to toy with the tortured rat! Come stalking, come stalking, my vain and inviolate Cat. My immune and disdainful Cat! In her predatory crimes, (though she's fed all the time) , she's the terrorist trained as a diplomat! Come stalking, come stalking, my aloof and impervious Cat. My mysterious and murderous Cat! Though her manoeuvres in law are a legal cats-paw, she still sprawls on the roof of the caveat. Come stalking, come stalking, my lordly, near insolent Cat. My miraculous and mythical Cat! Whose mystique and idolatry is the elegant exemplary of stealth and lethal fiat. David SmithWhite
