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...

Good to hear from you Knitting, so glad you are writing.

Wonderful poem, I especially like the birds and blossoms theme. The dropping blossoms and snow reference is real, I see it here where I live.

We are needing rain badly, it started to sprinkle earlier this evening, then quit. Hope we get a good rain soon.

I’ve actually been writing quite a lot. I started on one chapter of a particular story, and it grew into three...instead of the usual 3,000 word chapter for that story, it passed 10,000....and I wrote maybe 3 or 4 short pieces, and some poetry which is not quite proper for this forum....and a chapter on my other story. It’s been a pretty productive period.

That is so great! I cannot imagine myself writing a novel, maybe I do have one in me and I am holding back, some have suggested that.

One thing and my train of thought is gone, I get side tracked so easily. To write a novel one has to stay focused, that is my problem.

Man am I bushed. Can barely lift my arms. LOL! From lifting bales and toting barges.

Do you guys leave that music up online a couple days? The selections are excellent.

The only way to write a novel is to start. The other thing you absolutely need to do is back it up. A few years ago I lost a dozen pages of meaty notes and you can't believe how much that rots.

After the painters cleared out for the weekend, I took the trash out. I wanted to sit out there for a bit but my yard furniture is in the basement. I looked my Clematis over saw one sprig with green leaves, hope it can make it through the trampling.

We leave the music up all weekend, sometimes into Monday, so take your time with listening.

Glad you got some outside time in, it’s a good kind of tired.

I am not one much for note taking, and I know that is important when attempting to write a novel. For my poetry it usually just flows like a river. Man I love when that happens.

Backup is crucial isn’t it.

I run three things, notes to outline to story, and then simultaneously afterward. It actually feels more flexible that way and easier to keep track of changes. It’s so much easier now than before the computer.

Oh, I can remember women in a writers club that I belonged to would fret about sitting in front of a blank page on a computer. Now that probably cannot write with out it.

I rely so heavily on Word to write and store docs. So glad I have the ease of the 21 Century at my finger tips.

Remember the self-correcting IBM Selectric? Great advances in typewriters and primitive compared to word processing today. Just burn a CD of your work once in a while.

Oh do, I remember the IBM, I have a friend who still uses one in his law office. LOL Granted the office is pretty much shut down these past years.

Also, it is nice to have a second hard drive to save docs and music on. One can pick up a small, hard drive which has a huge
amount of storage space for about $50.00. Good deal.

CD make for good storage too.

Another hard drive is good, too. I save my stuff on two hard drives for just that reason. A CD is cheap if you’re saving text.
