The Dragonflies'Lair~Thread XXXI
Talented poets and friends of The Dragonflies' Lair | October 5, 2006 | bentfeather/Poets of the Lair

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...

These are all stunning!

I especially love the last haiku. Fabulously rich in images.

here are a few more that decided they wanted out.

Evening settles soft
colors fade to monochrome
outside my window

The Heron strides on
water ripples in passing
and frogs dive so deep

Dragonflies flit by
masters of the fen’s night sky
jewels on the wind

I dream, I dream so
worlds apart from the now
upon sands of time
_______________________

Your lips say nothing
yet your sweet eyes say it all
here in your garden

riding a black mare
surrendering the moon
lost in space with you
