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...

American Goldfinch

~Happy Wednesday To The Lair!~

[tomkow6]

Did ya know that Ms Feather like watching penguins & red wings????

Don't know if she likes watching American goldfinches, tho...

[MEG33]

I feel like a failure!
;o)

[WayzataJOHNN]

spell check, (brain check!)

I’m almost awake, (almost)

Chill wind kisses the pearl of dawn
and I watch robins on the lawn
time does come at its own pace
and starts the ragged human race

Highway filled with those half asleep
in whom their fate trust angels keep
little cups of coffee keep them going
unless a truck has been set to towing

Them workday blues for a waking mind
a shock the things your apt to find
I hate the start of solars light
for upon my sleep its become a blight!

[Lady Jag]

Despite the dark rainy day, goldfinches are crowding the feeders, brightening an otherwise gloomy day.

[WayzataJOHNN]

That picture looks like a very contented bird indeed!

[MEG33]

I envy your goldfinch crowds..

[Lady Jag]

Hi, WJ! Been missing you.

Yes, you can see the little smile on that goldfinch. I never get tired of them.

[WayzataJOHNN]

Goldfinch three inches of dynamo in feathers!

[SevenofNine]

Let see how old is Robert Byrd LOL!

[Lady Jag]

A goldfinch will come sit on a feeder and start whistling to call others because he doesn’t like to eat alone. Then, if you’re watching, you’ll see goldfinches blasting out of trees all around. Before I know it there are a couple dozen flashes of bright yellow gathered together to discuss how much better hulled sunflower seeds are than the the ones with the shell.

[Lady Jag]

While you’re into evying, tell me how you find such insanely beautiful photos.

[SevenofNine]

Well report from AP wire look like Chicago in final four to be tap as 2016 Olympics among Olympics city they not making decision not into NEXT YEAR

[WayzataJOHNN]

“Before I know it there are a couple dozen flashes of bright yellow gathered together to discuss how much better hulled sunflower seeds are than the the ones with the shell.”

Nothing like a ‘Seed Party’ in such musical tones.

[Lady Jag]

Goldfinch conversation stays pretty perky considering the seediness of it. Plus there doesn’t seem to be any cattiness or pecking order.

Good afternoon, Lady J...you are looking most ducky today. Stay dry!

[SevenofNine]

[Lady Jag]

Thank you. I’m a little harried but having a marvy day.

How are you?

[MEG33]

By spending an insane amount of time searching.

;o)
