The Dragonflies'Lair~Thread LIV
The Poets of The Lair | July 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

My Dragonfly 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 morning, Morning Glories!

"The summer morn is bright and fresh, the birds are darting by As if they loved to breast the breeze that sweeps the cool clear sky."
- William C. Bryant

Defeat in the dirt
 
  I thought I saw a ripple in the sky
before I came crashing down
a ripple of hope, breath of a dream
I've got clouds in my mind
while tasting the ground
It would seem
I have failed
in this flight that I've taken
Defeat in the dirt
brings questions unkind
In spreading my wings
have I been mistaken?
Persistence is born of true hearts endeavour
Effort renewed by need and desire
This time I think I'll try to fly higher
If I must I'll keep trying all the days of forever

Mostly women experience it changing direction. It’s a long story involving females’ general ability of both lobes communicating more than men’s. It’s a good thing, but also men’s inability is what makes them better at concentrating.

When you can make it switch directions, you’re developing super powers!

So, what you are saying, LJ, is that it all boils down to the difference between mens brains and womens brains. It is explained very clearly here:

Mens brains vs. womens brains

I have seen it spin both ways. I tried timing the change but the changes have timing variations. Some time periods are long and some are short.

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE:

A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Priest met at the town's annual 4th of July picnic. Old friends, they began their usual banter. 

"This baked ham is really delicious," the priest teased the rabbi. 

"You really ought to try it. I know it's against your religion, but I can't understand why such a wonderful food should be forbidden! You don't know what you're missing. You just haven't lived until you've tried Mrs. Hall's prized Virginia Baked Ham. Tell me, Rabbi, when are you going to break down and try it?"

The rabbi looked at the priest with a big grin, and said, "At your wedding."
