A Poem a Day For a Week Or So number three. I had fun with this one.
Dragon
This serpentine and massive body,
Tough dark brown scales about its girth,
With emerald green draped carelessly
Lies sinuously upon the earth.
.
One huge, long, foot, so saurian,
With wrinkled toes, long tapering claws,
Sweet scented earth clings yet to them and
Rain drips in the shocking maw.
.
Cowards’ blades have cruelly felled it
Here, of all enchanted places!
Huge and sad and impotent
Lies still amongst its golden pieces.
Nice bit of descriptive poem-eering Mick.
Hugs
