Dracarys
October 17, 2017
And the dragon chose
the first words
with eager hesitation
and wonder
his
flickering flame
licked
the space
wide open
where
tingle chill
nipping breeze
seeped in
under the glass pane
Will we
wander off
where words
wild and wicked
arc and soar
surface
and
swirl
like dragon smoke
On to the page
His choice
He insists
is only
An invitation
to fly

Is it my imagination or does your serpentine offering wind this way and that in meaning? It's exquisite in any case!
ReplyDeleteI love this one. Love the "w" alliteration in the "Will we wander off..." stanza. And love this: "his

Thank you! xoA
What Annis said: "..flame licked the space wide open"... a dragon that has a way of getting to people. Draco came to my mind and stayed there.
