The Dragonflie's Lair~Thread XLV
Poets of The Lair | November 30, 2007 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 11/30/2007 7:48:14 PM PST by Soaring Feather





My Dragonfly 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...

“I have called the landlord and reported the stubbornness of the old curmudgeon.”

Of course I’m stubborn, that is what being a curmudgeon is all about. I gotta tell you, I did not appreciate him banging on my door and voicing complaints of such a personal nature for the other neighbors to hear. (And of course they were ALL out in the hallway listening!) Why some of them believed the complaints, and after the landlord left I was beset by several women wanting to know if I was too tire to try my luck throwing a little heat their way!!!

Next time, just send me an e-mail and we’ll try to settle this with less physical demands being placed on me. I nearly killed myself trying to make everyone happy, and I’m too old to do that so often anymore!

Challenge of Winter

The bitter wind moans down from the hills
over a land laid in an icy Winter’s cloak
as people hide in stone block walled keeps
Bright the fires around which they cluster
Loud their laugher even as the cold seeps
happy to be alive and to share a tired joke
though each glances at the ice on the sill

Surviving Winter is become a skill of life
just to make the new Spring one more time
when the world shifts to verdant green again
Then the spirit can rise and called to muster
Throwing off the shackles of Winter’s pain
they celebrate the season in song and rhyme
and then prepare for life’s other strifes

That is beautiful! It started off funny and then got all deep and loving.

Thank yoou! I’m going to share that.

As to your question. I went looking for various resolutions and the same 3 lists came up except for Letterman, but they were all about him.

Yours is best.

Thank You LJ, beautiful!

May the New Year be kind to you
and not set you back
may your pains not be gargantuan
but little ones you can whack.
