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 Sunday to The Dragonflies' Lair.

Shake My Mother's Hand For Me

There's No Greater Time Than Now

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, everyone!



Ah! Sun-flower

Ah, Sun-flower! weary of time
Who countest the steps of the sun
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done:

Where the Youth pined away with desire
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow
Arise from their graves and aspire
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.

—William Blake

[Soaring Feather]

Morning, Ma!

Thanks for the inspirational music.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Someone will drone on and on, today. Try using psychic powers to make their underwear ride up. Even if it doesn't work, your look of intense concentration may make them self-conscious.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Try to avoid calling anyone a "vacuous, coffee-nosed, malodorous pervert", today. (That can be taken the wrong way, I've discovered.)

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Hug day, today. Various people you know will come up and give you a hug, for no apparent reason. You will find this moderately embarrassing.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Ah ha! You will finally have an opportunity to use the word "plumbaginous" in casual conversation today! You will be discussing either bicycles or aircraft, at the time.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

People will tease you about wearing your golf shoes indoors. Don't you mind them, though -- they're undoubtedly just jealous.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Your manager will be a twit, today. That's ok, though -- it's what he's paid for.

Libra (September 22 - October 22)

Someone nearby will read something out loud to you soon, which you might consider fairly obvious - such as "Blows to the head are a common cause of brain damage." The best reply to this is "Huh?"

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Deny everything.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

You will be tickled without mercy, today. Oddly, you will not be able to see your assailant.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

Today you will exercise self-discipline. It's about time, too! Your self-discipline was starting to get somewhat portly.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

It will occur to you to wonder, what if Jesus had actually said "The geek shall inherit the earth", but was just misquoted? Then you'll think of Bill Gates. Then you'll start to worry.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Excellent day to visit a bookstore. Try to find a book named "Make Money With Your Own Worm Farm." You don't need to read it, but it'll be fun to leave around where people will notice it.

Well, I kinda doubt it.

[Lady Jag]

especially since you’re a poet, it is almost predictable that you will at least use a synonym for plumbaginous.

I would use my pencil to say good night and sleep tight,
but a keyboard makes a poor replica of graphite.

Oh boy..Basketball is on in the Olympics.(USA channel)
Happy Monday To The Lair

MEG,
That kitty ROCKS!

[WayzataJOHNN]

This Confining Mortal Coil

Rage in anger held too long inside
the blackness of release denied
a mind that burns to set all to right
and long the silence watch of night

In memoried halls of life we’re bound
our strife around us mortal found
and scars of pain that etch our soul
each to claim their share of the toll

Yet do we still stand against it all
in answer to a distant echo’s call
something so beyond us leads us on
to some yet other unknown far dawn

[WayzataJOHNN]

Would you mind of I used the various slightly ‘odd’ but all to often possible ‘zodiac forecasts’ you put here in a newsletter to the troops?

[Soaring Feather]

Mernin’ Tom, that is one fantastic opening graphic. Saved! Just WOW!

[Soaring Feather]

Excellent poem! I love it.

[MEG33]

;o) I’m a hopeless Olympic Junkie

Moving poetry, JOHNN.
