The Dragonflies'Lair ~ Thread XLIX~
Poets of The Dragonflies' Lair | February 15, 2008 | Soaring Feather

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...

I fear the little girl is no longer with us. For the world I cannot figure out why the parents left those kids alone. Why do any parents do it??

I don’t have the answers just my heart hurts so for the kids.

A Night in Town

Ride’n on down to Shadwell’s saloon
Fer a drink a rot gut’n a game of cards
There with any luck, I maybe meet my pard’s
For the cattle drive is to take place soon

Blockhead, my horse is set’n a good pace
He’s want’n his drink of that homemade rye whisky too
And I’ll get him one, cause that’s only fair to do
Maybe he won’t have such a long face

Saturday night and there’s a dance
And piles of fresh hot food to fill you up
And a bit something to splash in the cup
So grab a gal’n get up to prance

Whoop it up’n have some fun there, Bill
Party hard and take some time to get it done
Fer that’s the thing to do to get it proper son
And let the dawn come when it will

Head’n home with head so large
And a mouth some dog used most unfair
Balance that head under your hat with care
It feels like it’s the size of a barge

Oh man that is a good poem. So like the Western movies I love to watch.

Have you seen Cold Mountain?? I tried to watch it but it was on a station that keep running commercials, so I ordered it from NetFlix. Not a Western but Civil War thing.

Yep some time ago.

I was just in a western mood as it was, (I just did a rewrite on the old style western I wrote and that sort of put me in the mood.)

How about the rest of you all try a western pome.

Ol Sal hoisted up her belt
she was a tough gal and
wore leather chaps over
men’s pants and she chewed, too

She was a double fisted drinker
bellied up to the bar with the best
cowboys, Ol Sal had ever seen.

But she was rough as sand stone
in the desert, long stringy hair
she smelled like a pole cat from
fifty yards away.

Ol Sal, was packing heat too
a six gun slung around her full waist
for her top she sported a lacy blouse
it had seen better days and was in rags

Sal’s old horse was about on his last legs
she did the best she could for him
out there living on the raw range
no barn or lean to for Old Mr. Ed

Sal did not have much better to weather herself in
it was an old Gold miners shack, leaning heavily
to the right.

It was sparsely furnished, an old straw mat
with a few old quilts, mostly rags by now
and on pot bellied stove stood in the center
of the shack and on top of the old stove
with the flat top sat an old beat up
enameled coffee pot, a few tin mugs
sat on the old table and not much else in sight.

Old Sal, sat on a stool and wonder to herself
how the hell did I get here. My head feels
like it is gonna bust wide open, too much
rot gut whiskey last night, or was it for the week
she could not pull up a memory as to how long she
had been in town.

Okay, Johnn, flesh it out!!

How’s tis?

Ol Sal hoisted up her belt a notch er two
she were always a right tough gal
wore leather chaps our mustang gal Sal
in men’s pants as she chawed a plug too

She was a real double fisted drinker
bellied up to the bar with the best cowboys,
Ol Sal had seen them all, the Milo’s and the Roy’s
And one or two were just damn fool stinkers
.
But she was rough as sand stone I say
in the desert, her long stringy hair I swear
she smelled just like a pole cat varmint fair
You notice her from fifty yards away.

Ol Sal, was packing heat too, she’d brag
a six gun slung around her full waist there
For her top she sported a lacy blouse with care
it had seen better days and was in rags

Sal’s old horse was about on his last legs
she did the best what she might and could for him
Out there living on the raw range his chances slim
no barn or lean to for Old Mr. Ed to beg

Sal did not have much better for to weather herself in
it was an old slab board gold miners shack,
Leaning heavily to the right, support it lack.
sparsely furnished, with an old straw mat worn as sin

With a few old quilts, mostly rags by now the lot
and one pot bellied stove stood in the center cove
Ff the threadbare shack and on top of that old stove
with the flat top sat an old beat up enameled coffee pot

a few tin mugs on the old table, not much else in sight
Old Sal, sat on a stool wonder’n to her self today
Now just how the hell did I get here I gotta say
My head feels like it’s gonna bust wide open it’s that tight,

too much rot gut whiskey downed there last night,
or was it from drinking for the last whole week
she’d not pull up a memory, it humbled her most meek
as to how long she’d been to town, or had a real good fight

It was fun, and Old Sal sounds like a gal any cowboy would like, a real woman, with attitude and nearly nude.
