~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread~XXII
August 28, 2005 | bentfeather/The Poets of the Lair

Posted on 08/28/2005 2:26:23 AM PDT by Soaring Feather

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 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...

Pancakes for breakfast
Waffles for lunch
Oh what a bunch
of Piglets and Poohs
Are the Poets who munch on
Ways to rhyme with slippery syrups
And pancakes divine
Save some for Martha
Spotsy as you flip
Oh I'll have a stack
melted sweet buttery drip
For pancake soaked pleasure
I'll be back.

Good morning, good morning
It's day in the West
The Lair beguiles me,
With hymns we are blessed.
Assurance of hope,
Certain of glory,
Our troubles we rest
In shared jubilation of
Life this grand day,
As quill of Queenie
Sends poems our way.

Good morning, La Enchiladita!


A poet you are who weaves
pancakes and waffles and
slippery syrup!!


Alas, Martha holds not
our wordsmithing ways
cause, she's counting down
the number of days
with both ankles bare
no beeper to track
her comings and goings
and she's coming back.

Intrigue

A soul whispers
as the secrets opened my eyes
weaving the threads of intrigue
his voice, a healing balm
soothing my psyche,
lifting, my bent bones,
turning on the laughter,
assuring the next world
is ours forever.
