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...

The Point

I
do
not
know
where
people
determine
all the rules
of living with
each other.
They
don’t
seem
like
they
keep
them
very
well.
Only
rules
which
live in
your
heart
will
help
you
love
your
brother.
All the
rest
seem
only
that
they
lead
you
both
to Hell.


I do not know where people determine all the rules of living with each other.
They don’t seem like they keep them very well.
Only rules which live in your heart will help you love your brother.
All the rest seem only that they lead you both to Hell.

There now, this cool, and I do like it!!

Very creative, I was not criticizing your work as a poet, a very good poet. ;0)

[Soaring Feather]

Oooops, I made an error

the tool is the human is soul,
Happens when I read what I think I wrote.

[NicknamedBob]

Try this, ... ShadowsA shadow
has two parts, you know.
The one above, the one below.
Within the shadow of a tree,
Toward the light here’s what you’ll see.
A shaded part of tree is found, To join the part that’s on the ground.
The joining of the two may be, Inseparable, like ground and tree.
But as the world
turns through the day,
The shadow starts
upon its way. To join
its cousins in the night,
And leave the clinging one in fright.
The world has turned its face away,
From that bright light
that we call day.
The darkness that
befalls thereon.
Will stay until the break
of dawn. The night is shadow’s
fearful half, The other part leaps with a laugh,
Out where it dwindles to a dot, Evaporating on the spot,
Unless the moon has ventured in, As round the Earth it does its spin.
The shadow is a twin at birth, Even when its mother’s Earth.
With one that clings close to its mother, And one that flies away from brother.
Its journey’s length always depends,
On what befalls before it ends.

This is just fabulous! Wonderful poem, and the trick with the light text for the daylight verse, then the black text for night, just so fine.

This poem is especially delightful to me. It is a fine piece of work. Clever, inventive, playful, serious, deep and lite all in one.

You should enter this in a competition, really you should.

BOB, may I enter this in The Lair Anthology?

[NicknamedBob]

That took a bit of HTML formatting, as you might guess. The original post, at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1370297/posts?page=432#432 was more straightforward.

Do you plan to enter it under my real name? It's probably time for me to be outed, anyway.

And, um, ... what is the Lair Anthology?

[Soaring Feather]

Check your FReepmail.

No, it would be entered under your nickname.

I mean, if you don’t wish for it to be in the Lair Anthology that’s fine with me, it is up to the poet.;0)

You are such a prolific writer it hard for me to remember the poems you post in The Lair. The link details your having posted this poem in the Lair a few years ago -which is fine by me. ;0)

[NicknamedBob]

Let me think about it for a while. Looks like a nice place.

Afternoon, Ms Feather!

[WayzataJOHNN]

Nope, this 200 page book is only 31,247 words, but its likely to create at least and easy 31,000 arguments and that is just what I like best of all!

I won’t even tell you how long it took to write my 100,000+ first book for the fantasy trilogy (I chipped it in stone as I didn’t have a computer or paper yet)

Handling disasters

[tomkow6]

"...a fine piece of work. Clever, inventive, playful, serious, deep and lite all in one."

Talking about me again???
