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...

Courage
 
  Many are the troubles we are confronted with,
Life is no more than a troublesome myth;
Reality is so bizarre and weak,
Sadness and fear has reached its peak;

What we lack is the courage to start;
Yet what we need is just a strong living heart,
Gather your wits all in one part,
And face that evil killing dart;

Whatever will happen, whatever it will take,
You are not going to let it break;
Cross the line and break your fate,
And start to try loving what you hate;

You have the right to decide your life' course,
But be ready it may be all hollow and hoarse;
Try all that you can but dont give up,
If in the end, you want the winning cup;

The courage is all that you need,
In your life, that will be the sowing seed,
It may put you in the lead,
But never will it be the 'weed';

If you think you are missing something,
Its the courage, the courage, in your ears it will ring..

Harihara Sudhahar Ramamoorthy

Nope, after I landed on the porch yesterday, I rocked away some time. Love my rocker.

Today is another issue, high humidity, low temps and clammy as heck. No soaring today.

You're rocking on the porch? You have a front porch? Man I miss that so bad!!! These houses they built in the 70s are tres antisocial.

It is so humid that rain drizzles off and on, so far all day.

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.
What Hand Gesture Are You?

I have a lovely porch facing the street. I have my huge plants placed next to the railing, offers a little privacy from the traffic. It is well shaded and this is low traffic street.

This porch wraps around the ground floor of the house. The other downstairs tenet never uses his side, he has a back porch all to himself.

“Okay, what makes a poet??”

Experience, outlook, sanity (or lack of), creativity, and a good boot by the muse.

The go-long-to-get-along political hacks are tearing America apart! We need to remember that they are as much an enemy as terrorists.

Here’s a woman’ opinion on it.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.
Margaret Thatcher

There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
Margaret Thatcher

To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.
Margaret Thatcher

If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
Margaret Thatcher
