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...

No, not yet. What a pretty picture of desert cactus flowers. The flowers are similar to the ones that are growing on my balcony. Things have been really crazy at work. I have to participate in 2 days worth of meeting with the customer. So a lot of time was spent getting .ppt slides prepared. How are you. I hope that all is well with you. I will be in the desert in September. I am working toward my nervous breakdown and no one is going to deprive me of it. ;^)))

GM Trike, nice poem.

My playing in the mud days have long since passed
I think they went out with Rock and Roll
back when I was lean and quick, and could
catch a salamander by the toe.

I love the prisms in the raindrops
an iris, oh so fair
of lavenders and lime greens
of pastel pinks
pots of gold, shimmering in the sky

I love rain best on warm May days
when Mother Earth releases her earthy smell
I draw her deep into my lungs, he promise
comes in June as Columbine and Tulip
lift their heads to bloom!

SF

Ah, I see!

I am doing well, thanks. Finally we are having a dry spell, lovely days, not too, hot.

Can you believe July is nearly shot? Wet one here. A lot of clammy weather which I hate with a passion.

Take care, drop around when you can.

Glad to hear that you are doing well. Unfortunately we here in California haven’t had much rain. We really can use it.

MY A/C is my best buddy..I’d love to be walking on Goleta beach and getting my feet wet in the cool Pacific.

This morning was nice out while I was feeding the birds.
We have not broken any heat records yet..but are close.

I choose Goleta becase it was closer to where I once lived..and less crowded ..The only time I saw a mob was one night when I went out to see the grunnion run. Every kid from UCSB was there..LOL

I loved living in that area for awhile...

I used to drive down to Goleta from San Jose when the company I worked for had a contract with Raytheon. The derive along US 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) was always nice.

Using Professor Peabody’s “Wayback machine”, I used to go to AC before the casino renovation. I am sure it is quite different now.
