The Dragonflies' Lair ~ Thread XXXVII~May, June 2007
Soaring Feather/Poets of The Lair | May 7, 2007 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 05/07/2007 3:37:31 AM PDT by Soaring Feather





My Dragonfly 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...

Good Morning To The Lair
I've been posting less..My back has been yelling at me until I
got the message and stayed off the computer more. Sitting
aggravates the pain when I am in a flare up.
Thank you for the poetry and graphics!

Sorry your back is bothering, I do know, too much sitting is very bad for any back problem.

Stay well! ;)

May - Lord Edward Thurlow


May! Queen of blossoms,
And fulfilling flowers,
With what pretty music
Shall we charm the hours?
Wilt thou have pipe and reed,
Blown in the open mead?
Or to the lute give heed
In the green bowers?

Make A Difference (Even If They Don’t Like It!)

In the light of morning I see my world and delight,
another chance to make mischief and smiles abound.
So my friends take a moment or two and gather round,
and let us shrug off the lassitude of the passing of night.

I give you coffee to sip and gossip to share among us,
and news of things beyond our small island of life.
Let us explore and expand our limits of joy and strife,
as the networks fill us with negative news and we cuss.

Then I shall juggle the salt and pepper and two small cats,
and you will laugh and the moment of darkness pass.
Then we shall take the day with a brighter smile, my lass,
and a spring in our step under some funny excuse for a hat.

Take delight in the day and be free to be a happy fool,
your humor spreads like oil on water, calming scowls.
Be of good cheer and share it with those irritated bowels,
you know the ones, sitting in the next cube, corporate tools.

The day is going well so far. On my second cup of coffee. Later today I have to take the cat to the vet for a routine checkup. The sun is beginning to peek through. The temps are supposed to go to 85. My weekend was uneventful and that is a good thing. My knee on occasion reminds me that it is still around and to not to run too often. I think if the pain were to go away it would be like losing an old friend. Hope that you are feeling better.

It is a domestic long hair that is tortoiseshell in color. I got her from the Humane Society. She is a real sweetheart.

If I think about how crappy I really feel
my head will spin, I will turn tail and
head straight back to the blankets again
of course, I would miss the sun in it’s glory
the Fern opening noiselessly in the garden
miss the bees that are buzzing about the
flowering shrubs, and just have myself to blame
for missing the Nature Show.

If I really let myself go there, I would
miss the day, but be wide awake for the
wonder of the glorious heavens twinkling
millions of miles away, miss the shooting stars
at play, and miss walking the rim of the Milky Way.

Ah sweet, my Cheri was a chirping cat, I used to love to hear him chirp and would tease him into chirping for me.

He usually got wound up in the mornings -wanting his breakfast. ;)

Calli is pretty laid back. Sometimes she will get up and run all around the apartment. She loves her cat tree.

I’m a pear, right on the money for me. ;)

Don’t spoil it...Just do it..... Pick a fruit

1. Orange
2. Apple
3. Banana
4. Coconut
5. Pineapple
6. Papaya
7. Mango
8. Cherry
9. Black Grapes
10. Peach
11. Custard Apple
12. Pear

What is your pick??? (Pick before you scroll down .... Do Not CHEAT!!!)

ORANGE - If orange is your favorite fruit, it speaks of a person who has enduring patience and willpower. You like to do things slowly, but very thoroughly and are completely undaunted by hard work. You tend to be shy, but are reliable and trustworthy friend. You have an aesthetic bent of mind. You select your partner with care and you love with all your heart, and not in for just a fling. You avoid conflict at all costs

APPLE - If apple is your favorite fruit, you are an extravagant, impulsive and outspoken person, often with a bit of a temper. While you may not
Be the best organizer yourself, you make a good team leader and are good at taking things forward. You can take quick action in most situations. You enjoy travel immensely. You ooze with charm when you are with your partner. You have an enthusiasm for life, unmatched by most.

BANANA - You are a softy! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by nature is the banana lover. You often lack in self-confidence and are quite timid by nature. People often take advantage of your sweet temperedness, and sheer vulnerability to a situation. You adore your partner in every which way, both for their mental and physical beauty! Because of the way you are, your relationship is always very much in harmony!

COCONUT - The coconut lover is a serious, very thoughtful and contemplative person. Though you enjoy socializing, you are particular about the company you keep. You tend to be stubborn but not necessarily foolhardy. Shrewd, quick-witted and alert, you ensure that you are right on top of any given scenario, especially at work. You need a partner with brains, and while passion is important it certainly isn’t everything for you.

PINEAPPLE - You are quick to decide and even quicker to act. You are brave in asking career changes, if that is what is to your advantage.
You have exceptional organizing abilities and are undaunted by the size of the task at hand. You tend to be self reliant, sincere and honest in your dealings with others. Though you are not given to making friends very quickly, but once you do, it is for life. Your partner is often impressed with your sterling qualities but disappointed in your ability to show affection. However, you love deeply and hurt hard.

PAPAYA - You are truly fearless and take much that happens in life in your stride. You give considerable thought to things you do. You have a sense of humor that, along with your generous nature, keeps you in most people’s good books. You are a go-getter in your professional life, and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. You enjoy meeting new people and seeing new sights whenever you can. Your sense of humor is what attracts members of the opposite sex to you more than anything else. It is simply charming!

MANGO - A mango lover is a personality to beckoned with; quite often, you are a person who has quite fixed ideas, and influencing you is not an easy task. You tend to be an extremist with strong likes and dislikes, and at times even like to control a situation. You enjoy getting involved in something that presents mental challenge. Strong as you may be, you are like a kitten when you are with your partner. You accommodate the love of your life, and make up for all the strong will elsewhere!

CHERRY - If cherry is your favorite fruit, life isn’t always as sweet for you. You often face ups and downs, particularly professionally, and find that you make small sums of $$$, instead of a lump sum. You have a fertile imagination and are often involved in creative pursuits. You are a very sincere and loyal partner, but find that expressing your feelings is not very easy. Your home is your haven, and you love nothing more than being surrounded by close family and your beloved partner.

BLACK GRAPES - You are a polite person in general, but do have quick flare-ups of temper that cool down just as quickly. You enjoy beauty in all forms, including beautiful people. You are very popular because of your warm, gregarious nature. You have a zest for life; you enjoy everything you do, right from the way you dress, to your style and your day-to-day life. Your partner must share your zeal and zing for life to enjoy all you have to offer!

PEACH - Like a peach, you enjoy the juice of life & all its lush ripeness! You are the friendly sort, and are quite frank and outspoken, which adds to your charm. You are quick to forgive and forget; and value your friendships highly. You have an independent and ambitious streak in you that make you a real go-getter. You are the ideal lover, fiery and passionate but sincere and faithful in love. You don’t, however, like to display all that passion in public.

CUSTARD APPLE - You are a modest and conservative person who can be quite sensitive at times. You tend to be thoughtful and contemplative, and therefore are rarely rash in doing things. You are quite ambitious and are good at anything that requires much detailing or working with numbers. You are quick at finding fault with others. While looking for a partner, you value a person’s intellect far above their looks or good old passion. You are quite shy and not very comfortable demonstrating affection.

PEAR - If you put your mind to something you can do it successfully, but by and large you tend to be fickle and have trouble completing a task with the enthusiasm you started it with. You need to know the results of your efforts almost immediately. You enjoy mental stimulation and love to get into a good discussion! You tend to be a restless and high-strung person, and are easily excited Being happy doesn’t mean everything’s perfect! It means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections!

Have fun!

First does it take HTML or does it have its own software? Mine has its own software and one cannot plop in HTML.

My site is not free either, but it is not that expensive. For myself, I have built about 5 websites. Also, I did one for an organization I was a member in.

The key to a good looking site is organization. I am not a Web Master, but can help organize the text.
There probably are Web Masters here at FR, you could put out an SOS and see what happens. Post a Vanity thread. ;)

Good this type is easy as pie!

Just plop in the bare text, then color can be adjusted, Font Face and Font Size can be changed, posture of the type, Italics, Bold, Underlined, etc., can be manipulated.

To add graphics click on the insert graphic icon, it will load from your hard drive.

I do not load from hard drive, I load from my graphic closet.
