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...

[Allegra]

You can HAVE it! ;-)

[Soaring Feather]

Oh, I see now WOO HOO!

[Allegra]

Currently 53F - going to 71F.

Dang that global warming!

[Soaring Feather]

I tell ya I have worn my winter clothes nearly all summer. Very few days I was not bundled up- well, soxs on and long slacks, warm shirts.

[Allegra]

Where do you live? It’s not on your (very beautiful) homepage.

[Soaring Feather]

Up state, New York!

[tomkow6]

[Soaring Feather]

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Today you will discover a lot of money under your pillow! Unfortunately, it won't begin to cover the cost of the dentures that you will also discover a sudden need for.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

It would be best, if you abandoned the Fez. You aren't that type of person, and it's no use pretending.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

You need to do something about that nervous laugh. Practice an "evil laugh" and use that instead. Then at least, you'll be able to hear everyone else's nervous laughter.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

If you act now, you could be the first on your block to have an actual moat and a working drawbridge. Something to consider.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

A huge red balloon will float by you, today, being pursued by a small person of the French persuasion, and a film crew. If you wish to cause cross-cultural mirth, cross your eyes, talk in a high pitched voice, and whack yourself in the head with a baguette. Otherwise, don't.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Today you will be suddenly struck by what a genius Norman Rockwell was, and how unappreciated (in the major art circles) he remains. You will vow to do something about it.

Libra (September 22 - October 22)

Today you will bolt up from your bed, grinning like a maniac, and shout "labor omnia vincit!" (the motto of Oklahoma) in ringing heroic tones. This could be the start of something interesting...

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Uh oh. Mars is out of alignment, again. Not a good day to hang out with stupid, violent, heavily-armed ex-convicts. Save that for tomorrow.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

You are being followed by a quiet, rugged man wearing cowboy boots, jeans, a large silver belt-buckle, a faded plaid flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a Carmen Miranda hat. Perhaps you should hurry.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

You'll accidentally eat one of those fried Szechwan chili peppers today, and it will bring tears to your eyes. This will strike you as odd, given that you will be eating a ham sandwich at the time.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

You will discover a bassoon player hiding in the shrubbery. That's not something you should try to deal with yourself -- call in the professionals.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Today you will have the eerie sensation that either you are going crazy or you are being watched by something indescribably evil. Luckily for you, you're in fine shape, mentally.

 

[tomkow6]

Don’t tell anyone, but I think I’m being followed.....

[Lady Jag]

Fabulous poetry and stunning graphic! Beeoootifull!

[Lady Jag]

Know what? I know a guy like you who heard voices and stuff and what he did was put them all to work!

Otherwise, you're gonna need that string.

The Art of Poetry

To gaze at a river made of time and water And remember Time is another river. To know we stray like a river and our faces vanish like water. To feel that waking is another dream that dreams of not dreaming and that the death we fear in our bones is the death that every night we call a dream. To see in every day and year a symbol of all the days of man and his years, and convert the outrage of the years into a music, a sound, and a symbol. To see in death a dream, in the sunset a golden sadness--such is poetry, humble and immortal, poetry, returning, like dawn and the sunset. Sometimes at evening there's a face that sees us from the deeps of a mirror. Art must be that sort of mirror, disclosing to each of us his face. They say Ulysses, wearied of wonders, wept with love on seeing Ithaca, humble and green. Art is that Ithaca, a green eternity, not wonders. Art is endless like a river flowing, passing, yet remaining, a mirror to the same inconstant Heraclitus, who is the same and yet another, like the river flowing. Jorge Luis Borges

Aw, I do that all the time anyway.

[Lady Jag]

Lucky lady. I mean to do it every time like you but I eat the baguette and have to use a stick.

What’s the proper wine to serve with baguettes???

[MEG33]

For this beautiful poetry, LadyJ.

[Allegra]

What’s the proper wine to serve with baguettes???

Some fava beans and a nice chianti?
