Clad in emerald scales Glistening plate mail Mind hidden behind veils He treads worn trails His heart consumed by fires Inspired by long gone sires This soul easily tires Dragon will not learn the lyre Only one soul has kept away pain Freeing his heart and making sane Over years a mortal soul wanes And now dragon lives on in vain Last of his race, He must keep face Despite pain and disgrace A soul of fragile lace His fire now low, burns Despite the lesson he learns His being slowly turns A storm slowly churns Golden angel descends “It’s nothing” he pretends Their subtle light blends Mortal soul portends Dragon’s husk decays It’s the end of his days Mourn not for dragon ways He flies on golden rays Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

Awesome poem NINJA! I love dragons, and you put a very wonderful tale about them into a neat poem! *claps loudly* You really should write more poetry!  "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

Wow! Abe, I'm really impressed! You did a great job with this, I even got a little teary eyed when the dragon saw that Angel..sad! But very good!! Why not submit to the book with this one? Just edit it! |

Wonderful work my dear! I especially love the part where the dragon sees the angel. Beautiful work hon, keep on writing poetry! *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |

And now with the poetry, eh Abe? Not a bad route if this is the direction you're heding! Fantasy poetry is rare indeed and I see you've not lost your magnificent penchant for alluring imagery! Bravo mi compadre! |

Wow, great poem, I really enjoyed reading it, It had a mystifying fantasy feel, that can usually only be found in a Novel . Thanks, You done well on this one . L.of.L. Tom .  Insanity is a perfectly normal responce to an abnormal world -R.D.Laing.- |

This is an awesome poem, Abe. And you say you're bad at this. I'm horrible at rhyming poems. *gags* This was very good. I love dragons. Erin |
