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...

Poem written for a story I’m working on:

I heard the seagulls,
I heard the seagulls crying
I heard them calling
as I walked the winding road,

Looking up I saw
White snow upon the mountain,
Tall the white mountain
The land of the cold country.

Beyond the mountain,
Past the cold country so white,
My love waits by night
By the seashore just for me.


In other news, my halloween poem Shiver Woman Shiver won in a small contest for short pieces (some prose, some poetry).

My fascination for modified Japanese poetry forms evidently continues.

But I did write something, a retelling of part of the recent story in heroic couplets. I had to put in a twist at the end, cause I just couldn’t stand the thought of me writing something that formal without it being humorous:

Out of the blood red fog it came,
A scent, a memory, a cherished name
Piercing the spell-bound heart inside,
His aching soul that keened and cried
Over beloved blood he spilled,
Beloved one he thought he killed —
His grief did give the spider joy,
And left his form to be a toy.

And yet he knew that scent and voice —
A light within bloomed to rejoice,
The spider’s webs began to shred.
He heard her voice – she was not dead!
He caught her as she tumbled down,
The spectre lurched, began to frown.
How could he break the spider’s spell
That was to bring their souls to hell?

The lovers gazed there, eye to eye,
Red locked on gray, a soft-breathed sigh.
A sword would hold the spectre fast
As brother cut the cord at last
That would begin the spider’s doom
As bright pink light began to bloom —
A stubborn, black-haired little lass
For love would kick Naraku’s a$$.

Greeting Lairites! Sorry that I haven’t been around to respond to many of the great posts especially those with pictures. My muse visited me one evening but escaped when some more work sailed over the transom. It has been very hectic the last 7 days. I thought that the light that I saw at the end of the tunnel would be the end of the crunch but to my surprise it was an on-coming train. Oh well! Hope that all are well.

Some points here we have to take in turn!

“My muse visited me one evening but escaped”
Now when my muse ‘visits’, I’m the one who can’t escape, so how do you work that???

“It has been very hectic the last 7 days.”
OK what were you doing, (Remember it took God six days to make the world, so he got a day off for good work. If its not up that standard, you likely were less creative, (especially with your muse escaping and all!)

“to my surprise it was an on-coming train.”
OUCH! What were you doing near tracks anyway? (I jest of course, I saw that train myself once and I was in a submarine at the time!)

Stop by, Tom and I are going to drink up the cognac and smoke my cigars, so I’ll keep a few aside for you, great way to get over those trains!!!)

There was a man named Ice
Who knocked off crooks in a thrice.
He made short works
of really bad jerks.
While good folks all though him nice.
