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, everyone!


Pluck not the wayside flower;
It is the traveler's dower.

CUBBIES have a VERY BAD road record! They've been getting the hits, but robbed of the runs!

I don't think they'll get swept, but, who knows?

I visited the Lair at 2:17AM PST and I would guess that everyone was in dreamland.

You Are a Fist
Your life philosophy can be summed up as, "Life fast. Die young."
Your greatest wish is to have a life of passion and excitement.

And while you don't want to die young, you rather take risks than stay home and be afraid.
You are inspired and inspiring. You live each day like it's your last.

Ah, I was asleep, dreaming I don’t know.

You Are a "Number One"
Your life philosophy can be summed up as, "I deserve the best."
Your greatest wish is to be wildly successful, in many arenas.

You are incredibly driven and a classic type A personality.
You have a high work ethic and high standards. If you don't push yourself, no one else will.

Courage does not Mean


Courage does not mean
That you have to overlook
The hungry wolf.
Courage means
A sleepless yearning to overcome
The fear of the hungry wolf.

HUMPDAY HORRORSCOPE


Wednesday, July 23, 2008



 

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

You will have a nightmare tonight, in which you find yourself dangling from the ceiling, while brightly colored paper maché animals with glowing eyes file into the room. One of them will be carrying a stick. Perhaps you shouldn't eat so much candy before going to bed?

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Today will be the best day of your life, if you can just remember ... er ... now what was that? Hmmm. If you can just remember something really important. Otherwise, no. Hmmm.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Birds figure heavily in your day, today. My advice? Wear a hat.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

In a savage reaction against what you view as New Age Wooly-Mindedness, you will write a best-selling book titled I'm Ok, You're A Twerp. Later, people will often regard you as having "defined" the current decade.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Beware of partaking in Zoroastrian rituals, today. Particularly if you're not entirely certain what's involved.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

You will get one of those pre-mixed salads in a new high-tech bag that "breathes." Or, in this case, wheezes.

Libra (September 22 - October 22)

Today you will find the word "impecunious" popping unbidden into your mind, at regular intervals. Eventually, you'll go look it up in the dictionary.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Nothing especially remarkable will happen today. You will get a strange urge to talk like Ziggy Marley, but it will pass.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

You will become trapped in the sofa, again. People will point and laugh.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

Beware of galoots, today.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

You're fussing with your hair too much. Perhaps you should temporarily cut back on shampoo. Or at least demand real poo.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Today you will discover that you are capable of "channelling", when you start spouting ancient sumerian curses at a short little dweeb who cuts you off in traffic. You will start taking notes in cuneiform.

Hmmm...I'm just okay.

You Are an "A-OK"

Your life philosophy can be summed up as, "Whatever will be, will be."

Your greatest wish is to live each day a little better than the next.

You are naturally calm and stable. Some people would call you a rock.

You feel one with the world. You are a spiritual person, though no one who knows you would guess it.

To really get your waking pattern on track, mount a stun gun on your snooze button. I am sure that you will wake up the alarm goes off.

LOL, I guess. I do like horrible scopes just for the laugh factor.
