The Dragonflies' Lair ~ Thread XXXX~
Soaring Feather and poets of the Lair | July 6, 2007 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 07/06/2007 7:07:33 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...

Ah, a fresh new thread with a dazzling little dragon. That was a real eye-catcher, I scrolled down looking at the flower then the dragon emerged.

Nice effect!

The Stars Are Mansions Built By Nature's Hand


THE stars are mansions built by Nature's hand,
And, haply, there the spirits of the blest
Dwell, clothed in radiance, their immortal vest;
Huge Ocean shows, within his yellow strand,
A habitation marvellously planned,
For life to occupy in love and rest;
All that we see--is dome, or vault, or nest,
Or fortress, reared at Nature's sage command.
Glad thought for every season! but the Spring
Gave it while cares were weighing on my heart,
'Mid song of birds, and insects murmuring;
And while the youthful year's prolific art--
Of bud, leaf, blade, and flower--was fashioning
Abodes where self-disturbance hath no part.


- William Wordsworth

Dragon poetry, eh? Well how's this?

coiled serpent
continuing flowery flows
welcomes the admiring visitor

Sort of half haiku, half free style.

Good night my oft musing friend again
sleep soft through gentle mist and rain
until the impetuous sun comes to call
and you watch dragonflies in grasses tall

Good morning everyone!


It's the weekend all the poets are out having fun
vacation time for everyone!
Some are chasing dreams, on the road again
while others kick back with a good book to read.
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
walkin' a beach, or out campin',
countin' the stars on a summer's night
watchin' a comet in pure delight!

A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.

Hiya, Meg and Happy Weekend to you! Gorgeous weather here for the weekend, into the 80s today and the 90s tomorrow.

How’s the weather shaping up for you, dry, I hope.

Gorgeous Strawberry Sundae frame, love that color.

Thank you!This one was hard to figure out how to frame..I finally remembered these backgrounds after I could not find the right combination..

The sky is blue, the patio is drying off..I think the monsoon season is finally over..though we may get an occasional shower. WOO HOO! I think we will hit 90 today also. Glad you are seeing lovely weather,too!
