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...

Computer Joke -  If Operating Systems Were Airlines

DOS Air: Passengers walk out onto the runway; grab hold of the plane,
push it until it gets in the air, hop on, then jump off when it hits
the ground. They grab the plane again, push it back into the air, hop
on, jump off...

Mac Airways: The cashiers, flight attendants, and pilots all look the
same, talk the same, and act the same. When you ask them questions
about the flight, they reply that you don't want to know, don't need
to know, and would you please return to your seat and watch the movie.

Windows Airlines: The terminal is neat and clean, the attendants
courteous, the pilots capable. The fleet of Lear jets the carrier
operates is immense. Your jet takes off without a hitch, pushes above
the clouds and, at 20,000 feet, explodes without warning.

OS/2 Skyways: The terminal is almost empty - only a few prospective
passengers mill about. The announcer says that a flight has just
departed, although no planes appear to be on the runway. Airline
personnel apologize profusely to customers in hushed voices, pointing
from time to time to the sleek, powerful jets outside. They tell each
passenger how great the flight will be on these new jets and how much
safer it will be than Windows Airlines, but they will have to wait a
little longer for the technicians to finish the flight systems. Maybe
until mid-2010. Maybe longer

“I think we going see more of that stuff”

You got that right! China ‘really observes’ the Olympic ideals alright, (but only in a socialist mind)

"The depth of this piece is amazing. The images you’ve painted are both light and airy, but deep, dark and mysterious."

I should be able to explain everything just as soon as I finish reading all the analysis of it. Maybe then I'll know what I was talking about.

Hint: It has to do with "String Theory".

[WayzataJOHNN]

“Hint: It has to do with “String Theory”. “

Oh sure, make it a knotty problem right off the bat!

So true. ;0)

I’ve discovered it’s more difficult to describe an active image. That one was really complicated.

It was a concept that had haunted me a bit. I wasn’t sure how to compress it into the warp and woof of a poem.

I started, of course, with the first line.

[Soaring Feather]

Our soul doesn’t enter when we do,
From birth canals we call alive,
It falls, while we think we’re rising,
At the end of the trip it arrives.


And that’s when the puppet stops moving,
Having joined with its shadow below,
The delicate dance of descending,
Has made for a marvelous show.


I especially love these last 2 stanzas. However, the entire poem is filed with such lovely images, suspended in space by the string. The angel references are truly gorgeous. Well, if I were to give a grade on this work, it would be 100% -it is terrific.
