Dragons of my mind Conjured dragons roam my deep Crypt beyond my lids. Yet live ones overrun my sleep Racing round my Id. Belching fire, flame and smoke Scorching me on track. Circling round an acid cloak Turning all things black. Roasting the harvest of my mind Basting with insane. Shades of shadows make me blind Shaping all to vain. And though I've fought and conquered some Still they come and come. Slithering out the dung and scum Weighing me with sum. The count is nine and counting more. Blood drips my bloodied shield. My back is backed against the door Yet I will never yield. |

Sy - I've said this so many times, its beginning to sound like a proverb - but you write with terrific slants and metaphors - each of your poems is a real gem. And to think I once smooched ya! |

Hi Sy, So full of truth this conquered some and they still keep coming, I will stand by your side if you wish, hugs going your way from me. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Dragon Exterminator reporting for duty... Seymour wonderfully written poem, hope that you manage to tame those beasts. You can always use them as BBQ's lol.  "I concede relationships have left me weak Won't be here so I don't care Look for something worthy to replace my guilt" Mansun legacy |

Sy as long as you keep your dragonheart, you'll be fine as is your poetry. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

And though I've fought and conquered some Still they come and come. Slithering out the dung and scum Weighing me with sum. The count is nine and counting more. Blood drips my bloodied shield.

Seymour, have you ever considered laying off those mushrooms, dear? (Oh, if 'twere but that simple, eh?) A masterful manifestation of poetic panache' Sy. I liked this VERY much. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Janet, Losing my personal gator is a real downer. I'll surely miss you and wish you luck with your Dragon. If you ever want to write me it would be my pleasure. May you catch your muse on the morning breeze Just make sure it is not the bise. (cold northern wind) Love Sy |

Seymour... You're not just a poet, you are an artist, painting with words and igniting the imagination with fire....... You are the poet dragon!! (meant in a very good way!) Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
