MagicianEmpress Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Dragon in the Woods Mommy Come, Mommy See! I found a dragon in the woods! Was walking in the shadows where you told me not to go, and found a pile of stones shaped kinda like a nose! I climbed on top a tree stump for to better see And saw it's flaming eyes gazing back at me! Its grassy mane was tossed upon a passing breeze and when it looked I wondered what part of me it sees. Weathered rock made up its skin and ancient scales, yet never would I say that this old thing was frail! 'Hullo!' said I, curtsying and trying to be polite. It moved not a muscle, but fixed me in its sight. I said I'd best be leaving because you'd miss me soon, Despite the sun still in the sky and the birds singing their tune. I left it there in shadows, hidden by flower and fern, But I'm sure it's just waiting for me to return! So Mommy Come! Mommy See! The dragon in the woods!

Snypiuer Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Wow. Just . . . WOW! I WANT to say more, but fear I would fail miserably in ANY attempt to express my TRUE delight in this. THANK YOU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeldrinHor Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 This is a wonderful poem with an ancient, child-like propensity to prose. It is both whimsical, yet totally serious (much like a child's desire to share something with a parent). Delicious sense of fun. MAWR!
