His fangs so long, glow so bright
As they are bared to the light
They are strong and they are fierce
Into your flesh they will pierce
Across forked tongue flames will roll
Inside lives a darkened soul
His wings now spread open wide
Your fear quaking deep inside
Upon your knees you await
Which death will become your fate
Will it be by glossy teeth
Sharp as sword pulled from its sheath
Or by claws that rip and tear
With anger that will not spare
Would the fire now consume
Bringing forth your certain doom
And those wings that blot the sun
Surely show your death’s begun
For your trespass you will pay
This will be your dying day
See the beast you stand before
And hear now the dragon’s roar

I can feel the fire-breath. I can hear the roar and the scratching claws. I am repenting of my trespass, this is how powerfully you wrote this dragon poem. I cannot help but think, though, that this “beast” is burrowed in a cave deep inside our souls, writhing and roaring and breathing fire when we dare to approach him with an eviction notice!

“Would the fire now consume
Bringing forth your certain doom
And those wings that blot the sun
Surely show your death’s begun”
Wow these are such intense and vivid descriptions. A lovely and dark work, jadedheart. Masterfully done

Thank you so much VW, I really enjoyed writing this one. Dragons are my favorite creature so I can only hope to do justice to their fieceness in my writings! 🙂

I absolutely love this poem! Great work. I have written extensively about dragons over the years, so I’m biased. But this poem is filled with the kind of flash and fire that have attracted me to those mythical beasts. What a poem!

Well then, I’m truly honored by your compliment! Thank you!
