The Dragonflies'Lair ~Thread L~
Poets of The Dragonflies' Lair | March 1, 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...

Only Now

It’s only now that I notice,
No matter how long it has been,
That the Future’s divided the same way,
From the past by the moment we’re in.

Only now has it started to settle,
In a brain that’s been slowing for years,
That the pace of the world doesn’t speed or slow,
Except when it’s sharpened by tears.

They say that the eye grows misty,
But the teardrop can act as a lens,
Like Leeuwenhoek’s early microscope,
When we focus on might-have-beens.

We’re all middle-aged for a lifetime,
As we focus on what’s been and how,
It has shaped what is likely to come about,
Through the funnel of only now.

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

President Bush said each one of us would get a $1200.00 tax rebate. It was previously slated to be $1400.00, but they dropped it to a $1200.00 tax rebate because of various budget problems.

Now, if we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China, if we spend it on computers, most of the money will go to Korea or India.

If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs

.....and none of these scenarios will help the American economy.


We need to keep that money here in America .....so the only way to keep that money here at home is to drink beer, 
gamble, or spend it on prostitution. 

Currently it seems that these are the only businesses still left in the U.S.

Thank you, MEG. Eight or so years ago we saved her life and we gave her a life of royalty which she accepted graciously. Not knowing how old she was, we had no clue when her day would come and like any pet, it came too soon.

Playground

Watch us go to the park,
plastic tires of your big wheel
clattering on the pavement,
shop windows, groceries,
bus stops and benches,
through fence slats
houses click by.

At the playground
we climb the slide,
the earth below
peeking up through holes
in the metal stairs
and the clouds swinging back and forth
in the big sky.
On top we look out
over the whole park,
the lawns bright and green,
the picnic tables laid out in rows of three,
the bandstand, a smooth curved shell
with empty seats waiting
for an audience.

You slide down first
and I hear your voice,
thin, high,
calling back to me.
I'm next
and, by the time I reach bottom,
you're gone.

~Dee Cohen

In the playground of my mind
there is only my time
we roam around from here to there
with pleasure and lots of
carefree days, fun filled nights
dragons and monsters running

with fright, away from the roving meter
of my time, they dare not huff or puff
in this lair of mine. They creep around
wearily, with slanted eyes darting
round corners look for a surprise

pounce on their back for a short ride,
these long feared monsters take sudden life
they snort and roar much to my delight
I pick at their scales, and tickle their nose
with one of my feathers plucked from

my boa, a red one with ostrich plumes long
I attack them in hard to reach places
and giggle as they strain to reach the itch

chortling, and cackling just like a witch!
My time is unlimited, short days grow long
in my make believe playground my life is a song!

Old Elliot had a itch
he could not reach it so
he hired a hoe to scratch
that place, and put a smile
on his twisted face.
