...zzzzzzz...huh? Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be writing a poem! Grrr...

...zzz...


Well, one day, I was taking a nap
Under a tree (that was dripping with sap!)
I cuddled my tail
In the shadow of shale
When came running a lil' mishap!

One little kid with a sword and a scowl
Came running at me, intentions afoul--
He jumped on my back
And began his attack;
He even let out a loud growl!

He climbed my back and sat on my wing
And sliced and diced with his plastic sword-thing;
To myself I just smiled,
To him reconciled,
And him to my arms I did bring!

All I did was tilt my back some,
And the lil' kid dropped to my arm, low-slung;
He struggled a lot and sometimes spinned,
But I looked in his eyes and simply grinned--
Eventually, his heart I'd won!

I looked down at him, in my arm,
And promised that I would do him no harm--
The kid I could have squashed like a bug!--
But instead I gave him a really big hug.

The kid stopped fighting and I let him free,
But what he did was get closer to me!
So I held him abreast,
Then close to my chest
And we both--*yawn*--fell into happy slee...

...zzzz....

...Li..zzz...t'le Spyro T. D..draa...gg-'n....zzzzzzz..

.....zzzzzzzz....

  How adorable!  Very amusing, Spyro.  Too cute for words.  I can imagine the little kid knight rushing up to a dragon and try to slay him with a plastic sword...

Spyro---this is absolutely wonderful.  I felt like I was back in the days of knights and dragons (one very kind dragon I might add).  I enjoyed reading this and will be catching more of your work now that I've found a home here in the Pub.  (Pssst....I hope you two enjoyed your nap!)

So sweet purple one!  Te imagery is so vivid.  The bravery of a little one as he strikes out to win over the dragon.  This is wonderful - as always.

You make me wonder Spyro, if there exists a limit to that wonderfully imaginative mind of yours.  Great Work!  My little dragon friends are amused!         --Jamie

Little Spyro,

How noble a dragon to treat his foe with love rather than defensive attack.  I wish the non-violent aura here could spread across the world.  Beautifully written - as always.
