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...

Our water’s fine all over, glacially filtered and delicious.

With a friend who works in the LA water district, I hear about Cal water constantly. We got 8” of rain last month and the landscape is dense and green. You got 6” of rain all last year and your ground is lousy for holding it. It’s different. Don’t you think I didn’t wish we could send you some with those fires of yours. We had too much and your need was desperate.

That sounds cool, a new type of murder, eh? Sounds interesting, maybe grisly!

34 books,hmm....I have yet to write my first, maybe one of these days. I may, I hope, be wrapping up the overseas chapters of my life this January, and then I'd like to come back to the U S of A for good. We'll see, looks good for 5 months from now. I'm checking out small towns to move to on the Internet right now. I'll love standing on the corner of some quiet little town in Americana, feeling that American breeze, listening to the quiet and peace.

Well good luck with the writing, and take it easy everyone, and cheers Soaring. Next time I'm passing by I'll rest a spell in the Lair!

Bye everybody, (watch out for that economy, it's looking ugly!)

Okay, your water sounds delicious. I drink the bottled type out here and not because it is upscale. It tastes much better than the crap that comes out of the spigot. They have these water cleansing plants out here. It processes some of the nasty stuff and they call it potable.

Annually we’re sent water quality reports for our town and the only real regular issue is it’s hard. I buy bottle water for the bottles; my town’s water tastes better. We’ve had a few droughts but nothing compared to yours.

What would the ramifications be if we learned to make it rain where we wanted?

The only problem that I could see is determining how much to make and being able to control it.

Hey, it's not that bad today. Only about 106. We have a sandstorm going on which is keeping the temps down.

If it's not one thing, it's another 'round here. ;-)
