~The Dragon Flies Lair~
Poets | August 27, 2003 | bentfeather

My Dragon Fly 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 guides
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

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...

so you don't write romantic poetry
I can do without

as long as I can be with you

your laughter sings
you touch is gentle

your lips exite
your eyes shine

with your body you say all the things
I want to hear

I always encourage her. We're best friends, what kind
of friend would I be if I didn't encourage her? She
doesn't really think her work will go far. I told her
to keep publishing possibilities in mind. She said she'd
love for that to happen, she'd feel like she accomplished
something. I think all poets feel that way...

Yes, no one believes in their work at first. I was first published in 1984, first time I ever submitted to that particular house.

Poetry is heart music, and a song is poetry to music.
But there are an awful lot of amateurs out there.
(Me included!) `;-)

Wonderful little poem snippy!

And so true for so many who are a little shy.

Snippy: the female equivelant of Trikebuilder.

You're good and you seem to have no problem coming up with a good poem in a short tiem.

Awwww. That's a huge compliment but I think I have a way to go before I'm worthy of that.

Thank you all the same. You're so sweet to say it.

I'm afraid if I took any time at all I would re-write everything and then it just wouldn't be right. I prefer it as it arrives in my head, from my heart. :)

She said she's been writing for a while. She just
doesn't see her poetry as a big deal, I guess. I've
never had any of my stuff published either.

It's a magical thing.
And lucky are those who possess it in abundance.

Thankfully, no-one is being compared to me!
*chuckle*
(And if they are.. it's a sign of serious psychosis.)

Very touching.

Stay young. Aging of the mind is voluntary. You don't have to go there.

1. Get muddy.
2. Lay in the grass.
3. Wrestle the dog.
4. Stare at a star lit sky.
5. See the shapes of clouds.
6. Wade in a creek.
7. Climb a tree.
8. Tell Go you love him.

Sorry to have not been around lately, but I'm now working 12 hour shifts from 8 PM to 8AM and I'm just wasted, sleeping like a log. will get some free time soon, and will get back to you all.
