The Dragonflies' Lair~Thread XXVIII~
The Muse/Poets of the Lair | June 11, 2006 | 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 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...

I have the complexion of a Finn. As a kid, I was a towhead blond and am very fair.
I sun burn easily.

Rose Gold only. I have tried yellow gold I don't like it on me.

Of course, I would not say no to Platinum.

And if I ever get enough gold to convert into cash, I'll be a happy camper! Maybe I'll get to do my bathroom over, too!

It hasn't been the same since the last fire.

Wild Weather In 3 Acts

Rain falls in sheets like gossamer curtains
shutting off the view across the street
as if we see the curtain in a life play
as the storm sets a mood in the indigo dusk

Thunder portends drama amid the chill winds
the stage lit by a harsh strobe engraving the scene
and we await the next act, unsure of what is to be
and we slip from the disappearing day’s husk

The immortal Bard readies his cast tonight
and we watch in awe as each plays their part
in this production called severe weather, a wild act
preceded by the scent of nature’s pre-rain musk.

Yep, the old midden just ain't up to much after that!!!
(of course a sane person wouldn't have tried smoking in there!)

Good morning!

Well the place I'm working with asked me to stay on till almost October. So after my big departure speech, I'll still be hanging around for some time.

Haven't seen any muses passing by lately though.

I really liked your poem on Post #109. Very pensive and reflective. Had a novel (as in book) feel to it, kind of like a key point at which the plot twists.

Hi Starbase, so glad you are still with us. ;)

Thanks for the nice words regarding my poem. I also, love that you analyzed the poem, I never know about these things until I hear how it affects a reader.

The muse has been avoiding me of late, must be I did not listen to her and she is annoyed with me. LOL

Good afternoon, Lady, is it that bad?? You're just a skeleton of yourself today.

I am thinking about taking up the paint brush again today. I have been inspired as to my colour choices for the bathroom. Aha, I discovered I have paint left over from the manse bedroom redo last year. Viola! I shall just reverse the order in which they were applied and all will be consistent. YAY!

What I am painting now is a simple base coat. I just need a body to cooperate with me to get the job done.
