The Dragon Dies The dragon of my wind blows red Not wounded by a knight but dread And smoldering with spite and rage Writes his ire upon this page. Dipping deep in the minds red ink Ravages scald the bind of think While ooze pours out the cyst of swell Formed by the belch of sulfurs smell. Our knave has sorely wounded save Planets apocalypse o’er our grave The dragon dies of rot and lies The rabble buzz around like flies I too would offer up my soul For just the smallest part of goal To balk destruction and the strife Oblivious that storks our life The dross impales, with fetid breath That kills the dragon near to death. |

The dragon of my wind blows red Not wounded by a knight but dread And smoldering with spite and rage Writes his ire upon this page. Dipping deep in the minds red ink Ravages scald the bind of think While ooze pours out the cyst of swell Formed by the belch of sulfurs smell. Our knave has sorely wounded save Planets apocalypse o'er our grave ============================ To balk destruction and the strife Oblivious that storks our life The dross impales, with fetid breath That kills the dragon near to death. ============================== My goodness Stinky...Randy is riled up... me thinks he needs a vacation. Your imagery and vocabulary here is like being hit by a train...this is a major impact poem...and very cool verbiage to boot. Tell Randy to stop flying over the tar pits and try the Arch instead. *L*  This poem needs to be submited to Earth Day organizers or any where dealing with the Enviroment or Ecology. It could be their mantra--Randy can be their mascot. Very cool write Sy-babers...as always your rhymes speak of truth and wisdom.   |

Seymour darling boy this is an incredible utterly utterly incredible piece of writing. Yet again you paint the picture perfectly and I utterly utterly love it The dragon dies you say my friend But its life goes on without end In flight of fantasy it soars so high Playing games of tag across the sky It touches thoughts of freedom flight Swooping and soaring in such delight It’s not gone from your mind’s eye But waits for your right time to fly The rot and lies of which you speak Are simply traps, which wish to seek To hide the joy you hold within Fantasy’s wonder beneath the skin Dragons’ tales of excitement’s sight Fairies fancy in exaltation’s flight Free the mind of trouble’s pain Ride the dragon’s trail once again    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Not wounded by a knight but dread And smoldering with spite and rage Writes his ire upon this page." Sy~ Strength and determination eminates from your words. Excellent imagery and your rhyming is flawless. Loved it! *hugs* ~KRista Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

I think naught but the black of night forbade the dragon from his flight nor red, nor blue, nor white of rage would keep thee from the wise of sage To You, Sir... a deep and humble curtsey |

"I too would offer up my soul For just the smallest part of goal To balk destruction and the strife Oblivious that storks our life" BRAVO!!! Wow, this is a wonderfully valiant tale of intestinal fortitude, sweet friend, may we all approach the dragons of our souls always and slay them to make way for true joy and peace to fill us all! (big hugggsssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sy Your dragon breath has scorched my eyes, but not from burn, but from tears. This is strong, a statement, made beautiful with your tender heart of rage. Hugs for this. [This message has been edited by Martie (05-03-2002 08:47 PM).] |
