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...

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE:

A hillbilly went hunting one day in Oklahoma and bagged three ducks. He put them in the bed of his pickup truck and was about to drive home when he was confronted by an ornery game warden that didn't like hillbillies.

The game warden ordered  the hillbilly to show his hunting license, and the hillbilly pulled out a valid Oklahoma hunting license.

The game warden looked at the license, then reached over and picked up one of the ducks, sniffed its butt, and said, "This duck ain't from Oklahoma. This is a Kansas duck. You got a Kansas huntin' license, boy?"

The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced a Kansas hunting license.

The game warden looked at it, then reached over and grabbed the second duck, sniffed its butt, and said,"This ain't no Kansas duck. This duck's from  Arkansas. You got a Arkansas license?"

The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced an Arkansas hunting license.

The warden then reached over and picked up the third duck, sniffed its butt, and said this ain't no Arkansas duck. This here duck's from South Carolina. You got a South Carolina huntin' license?"

Again the hillbilly reached into his wallet and brought out a South Carolina hunting license.
.
The game warden was extremely frustrated at this point, and he yelled at the hillbilly "Just where the hell are you from?"

The hillbilly turned around, bent over, dropped his pants, and said,
"You tell me, your the expert."

Two moose hunters from Texas are flown into a remote lake in Alaska.
They have a good hunt, and both manage to get a large moose.

When the plane returns to pick them up, the pilot looks at the animals
and says, "This little plane won't lift all of us, the equipment, and
both of those animals - you'll have to leave one. We'd never make it over
the trees on the take off."

"That's baloney", says one of the hunters.

"Yeah," the other agrees, "you're just chicken...we came out here last
year and got two moose and that pilot had some guts. He wasn't afraid
to take off!"

"Yeah", said the first hunter, "and his plane wasn't any bigger than yours!"

The pilot got angry, and said, "Hell! If he did it, then I can do it! I
can fly as well as anybody!"

They loaded up, taxied at full throttle, and the plane almost made it,
but didn't have the lift to clear the trees at the end of the lake. It
clipped the tops of the trees, flipped, then broke up, scattering the
baggage, animal carcasses, and passengers all through the brush.

Still alive, but hurt and dazed, the pilot sat up, shook his head to clear
it, and said, "Where are we?"

One of the hunters rolled out from under a bush, looked around, and said
"I'd say...About a hundred yards further than last year."

Birds of Spring
 
  Birds of spring they
bring on so many things
sounds they send
to each other,

that only they
can understand
in their sweet
cheerful harmony.

Sweet smell in
the air this
beautiful april day
listening to these creatures.

Taking in the warmth
of the sun that
is so overdue, blue
skies beauty to the eye.

Birds in flight
from one tree
to the other, getting
ready to produce life.

Cool breezes this
day so fine to hear
birds of spring echoing
music to my ear.

Birds of spring
to many to mention you all,
Robbins, Wrens and Cardinals
or a few I see, oh so beautiful.

To hear their chirping
wondering what they're saying
at this moment
will sit here for awhile.

Sounds this day
so relaxing is it
to listen to these
birds of spring.

Ah LadyJag, so very beautiful the Bluebird,
whose song, I have heard
whose color, so brilliant and bold
Behold the Bluebird’s beauty,
whose stunning color causes the poets to sing.

Seeing a Bluebird is like being kissed by color.

Lovely comment as usual, SF.

That bluebird was at my feeder 8 weeks ago, along with two other pairs. What a treat!

What a treat!
Oh my, I should say so.

I have not seen one in the wild in years, they may come to feeders in the city, but I rather doubt it. We have them in the rural areas where I used to live. ;0)
I have not seen much bird activity around this Spring, too, much stuff going on, it is usually quiet here, but with the painters around, and now many new kids in the hood, I don't see the birds.
