The dragon is a mythical beast Capable of eating an entire feast Green scales cover his skin White teeth fill an evil grin His gut displays a yellowish tint Bright red eyes possess a glint Claws are pointed and very sharp Could shred to bits the strongest tarp His long tail thrashes about Beware if you travel this route He will fight to the bitter end It's a fierce message that he sends His jaw now hangs agape Resting in a gruesome shape Hot orange colored flames Shoot forth and stake their claim The target is an old oak tree It turns to ashes and falls free Resting in a smoke filled pile The dragon sleeps for a while Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

I liked this...and I smile, remembering a bumper sticker I'd seen once: "never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup..." smiles to you, Lone wolf...I am muchly enjoying your writing... |

LoneWolf~ I have to say that I am so glad I found this one! I have to tell you, Dragons are one of my most favorite things in the whole world! I have an ever growing collection of both figurines and statues -- they are just so majestic! And I think that I would never feel unsafe if I had a dragon around....... Loved it! Love Ya~ ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

You pay homage to the myth of the dragon well, with some great imagery and exuberant lines Melissa~ |
