Dragon's Eye

Upon the azure seas
Dipped in emerald hue
Tiny wispy angels gently shimmer through.

Riding silver stallions
With wings of sapphire blue
Skimming on the water sprinkling glitter dew.

When over the horizon
A crimson dragon sped
Bleeding in the ocean veins of fiery red.

Galloping through the droplets
Embroidered in the chase
Seraphs weave a web of purple diamond lace.

It’s wings beat in a whisper
Pursued back to it's lair
Turning in contempt to breath a sulphur flare.

Twinkling in the stardust
Dispersed across the sky
Tiny glints reflecting from the dragons eye.

A genuine masterpiece.

A genuine masterpiece. Usually I stop checking out new post around 8pm my time until morning, as I get up very early in the mornings. But a little birdie called Troy told me of a wonderful write from a great girl, so I had to check it out... now...I'm glad I did. Your imagination is exemplary Mand. Rosina xena465

The crystal and diamond DRAGON:the ocean.

Ann of Norway How the ocean stuns our perception with its size it many moods and its intangibility of spirit, without its majestic, tempestuous temperament, and its life-giving waters we wouldn't even exist; and this is why we poets, writers, painters, expressers of the arts on looking at you, are so fired with awesome admiration, all descriptive words tumble together to be the first to express themselves, the paint dances or swoons a wash across a canvas of thoughts and sparkles, dazzles and explodes its many faces, depths, all in one grand great blaze of rhetoric, of colours, of wonderful prose to do justice to this Dragon of powerful mystery who steams fires from his nostrils fit to flavour this world of ours indelibly, forever. A diamond of colours, I give you a ring, all the poets who love the ocean in all its moods are the ring, holding hands, and this you can wear whenever you feel down, just climb into its aura and you will see, we will all be there smiling with each positive thought you express and all gloom will suddenly disperse. Love to you Mand, this will inspire people of all ages! Ann. Stars of spray. Bern mentioned the Dragon of Wales, the Griffon, did you mean this too?
