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...

New Thread Everyone!!

Attraction

The meadow and the mountain with desire
...Gazed on each other, till a fierce unrest
...Surged 'neath the meadow's seemingly calm breast,
And all the mountain's fissures ran with fire.

A mighty river rolled between them there.
...What could the mountain do but gaze and burn?
...What could the meadow do but look and yearn,
And gem its bosom to conceal despair?

Their seething passion agitated space,
...Till lo! the lands a sudden earthquake shook,
...The river fled: the meadow leaped, and took
The leaning mountain in a close embrace.

Thank You Sam. I am sorry that the new thread posting came so soon after you had already posted the days poem and music.

I'll try to make it up to everyone.

Feather's song of joy
composed in her giving heart

[SAMWolf]

No problem. I could have waited till the thread was up. :-)

[Soaring Feather]

Oh stop, LOL .


I have always loved that Haiku.

[SAMWolf]

One of my better ones, especially since I remember the context it was written in. :-)

The Rainbow And Real Fun

The weave of romance, friendship and love
Always alive, moving with the two
Their hopes and sharing
The strength and warmth
Each can give Each can be free
And then the play unfolds
When each can
Live for the other
Nurturing and inspiring
Only the problems unforgiven
Could end . . .

The rainbows and real fun
The times outdoor and flush
With each other and breezes
The light fills both lives
A beach is the edge of their one heart
The sky the cover of the naked
Excitement and delight
In giving
Giving
Giving
If it isn't giving
It isn't living

Wonderful poem all true.

Cheers!

I thought I’d talk today about, a FRiend I’ve come to know,
I’m sure you know which one I mean, he often steals the show.
He will be celebrating soon, we know, a rite that we regard,
As holy in the sight of God, even in one’s back yard.

I’m talking about marriage, and one particular Guy,
He would have done this long ago, if he were not so shy.
It is a sort of gem he found, specifically, a pearl,
He really isn’t royally, but he’ll become an Earl.

Yes, he’s walking well above the ground, for Laura has consented,
And if he screws things up this time, he’ll be the late lamented.
But I have confidence in him, he’s flown this high before,
Of course this is because of love, and that was playing war.

He’ll be much calmer soon, I think, and be his own sweet self,
(When she reflects upon her name, she will become an elf.)
And magic will be theirs, I’m sure, and hope it lasts real long,
For we all need a Guy like him, to cheer us with a song.

Nice poem NicknamedBob. Always fun to read poems that are "personalized" :-)

[Soaring Feather]

So wedding bells
will ring for the Guy
and Laura Earl will
be his bride

A Freeper wedding is the best
there won't be six thousand guests!!

Congrats to you and Laura, too!
Happy days I wish for you.
May you walk in sunshine all the way
and remember forgiveness is always best each day.

Thank you so much!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Thanks so much. I have been on a cloud since she said yes.

Conspiracy Earl

[Conspiracy Guy]

Thanks so much. I am excited. Laura Earl is excited.

My contribution for the start of the tenth thread.


A Woman in Love
Sonnets From the Portuguese
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
XLIII

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

[Soaring Feather]

My most favorite of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets.

Thank You, snippy. :-)

[snippy_about_it]

Just for you Conspiracy Guy. This was my very first 45. ;-)

[SAMWolf]

We want pictures!! We want pictures!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

There will be pictures

[SAMWolf]

:-)

A poem for the occasion?

~ Hall and Oates ~ Dream Weaver ~

[Soaring Feather]

Good nite poets

May the sweet aroma of Lily of the Valley
fill your dreams
caress your face
tenderly lull you to sleep
in the safety of knowing love...

~ Dream a Little ~ Love a Lot ~

Today

Should thou lovest me this day
I would be content in today
not ask for tomorrow...
But... live this day only
in splendor of knowing
thou lovest me today...

Everything I write about it is too personal and mushy.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning poets.
Lovely day in my neck of the woods, bright sun and blue sky.

[Colonel_Flagg]

That is most certainly *not* Buck Owens ;)

Good morning!

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning Colonel Flagg!!

My goodness, I didn't think we would see you today.

Nah, it was one of his ladies. :-)

[Colonel_Flagg]

This list is getting long .. good morning, all!

He Tells Of The Perfect Beauty
William Butler Yeats

O cloud-pale eyelids, dream-dimmed eyes,
The poets labouring all their days
To build a perfect beauty in rhyme
Are overthrown by a woman's gaze
And by the unlabouring brood of the skies:
And therefore my heart will bow, when dew
Is dropping sleep, until God burn time,
Before the unlabouring stars and you.

[Colonel_Flagg]

And it appears congratulations from this member of the peanut gallery are in order!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Where do I sign up?

He Tells Of The Perfect Beauty

SWOON

Oh that I could write like that. *SIGH*

[Laura Earl]

Thanks! We are very excited. And you have a very cool name-Colonel Flagg was one of my favorite characters!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Me too. I guess that's why Yeats is immortalized and I won't be ;)

[Soaring Feather]

LOL!!!

Ya gotta be a cowboy, Colonel. :-)

[Colonel_Flagg]

As you should be. And it seems you and I share a former avocation.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Ya gotta be a cowboy, Colonel. :-)

Figures. I'm best known for falling off horses, not for riding them.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh you just reminded me of my poem, Riding Horses.

I think I posted it some time back. I love that poem.

[Laura Earl]

Early MASH was wonderful. They should have never added the soapboxes. When I was in college, the show was in its syndication heyday, and I could watch it about 5 times a day. At one time I knew almost every line of every episode.

[Colonel_Flagg]

If you look at my profile page (thanks, Snippy!), you'll see we share a similar opinion. Pleased to meet you, by the way :)

[snippy_about_it]

:-)

You just holler whenever you want it updated or additions. Good morning Colonel.

[SAMWolf]

I can understand that. :-) Some things are better savored by just two.

[Laura Earl]

Nice to meet you too! :)

[Colonel_Flagg]

Good morning, friend :) And thanks as always. I trust you are well?

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Everybody.
