We the poets of the Lair, thank all who support us.

We hope to be here a long time, singing our songs
riding the stars, writing our own visions, and best of all,
loving all who continue to lurk and visit here over the years.


We write of love, we write of war,
we write of sorrow,
we write of Knights and Kingdoms from before,
we write of drawing down the moon,
scarlet robes, and gossamer, kismet, serendipity, serenity,
and days of grace, filled with woodsy space
ancestors wrinkled ragged and bold
horror stories from our own past
hauntings from the bog with screaming banshee
voices on the wind
and of the wind loud and sassy
tinkling brass, silvered nights with star strewn paths.
We write songs of happiness, songs of grief
songs of anger and relief.


Our poets take pictures along their walk
post them here for all of us to gawk
and ohh and aw about the mystery of another land.


With all of life's hard times, pushes and shoves
we poets remain above the fray to write
in the sunlight of another new day,
and take a chance on a little romance
in The Land of Glen Gaul Way.
And know that in the dead of night,
WayzataJohnn will be stopping by to steam up the Lair
with a senusous poem, or tell a hair raising tale from
his life as an Navy Vet, a Cowboy, a Husband, and
best of all a very good friend of all of us here.

Thanks for pinging me to a corner of FR which I did not know existed. May I add my support by also proclaiming, "Happy Anniversary."

Thank You, we poets like for this to be a "safe haven" of sorts, a quiet place to read, or post a poem, a song, or just lurk.

Well, Chuck does some gardening and plays a little golf. Everyonce in awhile we take Bo out to the lake. I think the last time we did was last week.

We had some much needed rain move through the area last night. Some places got about a quater to half an inch.

There were some t-storm warnings issued for some counties. Also, some minor street flooding in and around OKC.

We're in for some rains. Yesterday was gloomy all day, overcast skies. This morning it is raining and it's going to do so for several days.

Our temps are down and life is more comfortable.

*HUGS*

To: bentfeather; All


Flying high
in a cobalt sky
dazzling dragonfly.

Free at last
leaving earth and past
in jet streams blast.

Round the globe
his tentacles probe
seeking celestial abodes.

Stars possessed
he's now distressed
so heading home is best.

Home to The Lair
no more dispair
brave dragonflys' prayer
