What dragons...sonnet

[dragonwyst]

What Dragons What dragons will arise with me today Unfurling restless wings within my breast,
And, eager for expression, seek to play
Between my words and deeds with dragon zest?
Perchance 'twill be Defender, red with rage
At some unkindly word or hurtful deed.
But then may come the silver-blue of Sage,
With haiku'd insight hiding wisdom's seed.
Or he of burnished bronze and green and gold -
The Nature Wyvern - may call me to find
A path by leafy, sunlit creek and hold
The lizards dear. They, too, are dragon-kind. 'Tween word and deed, with glinting scale and claw
The dragons rise, dispensing dragon-lore.

It\'s pieces like this which make me feel like such a fraud, I love poetry and I enjoy writing but something of this silk makes me quite envious but also inspired.

I love the way it smoothly reads, with words like \'Unfurling\', \'dragion zest\', \'perchance\' and \'burnished bronze\' really standing out.

This is a joy to read, thank you for sharing! Keep \'em coming!

Good/rich vocab! I like the rhymes and imagery -- I can see this as being like an intro to a novel about dragons or something of that kind Thanks for sharing
