There once were dragons

There once were dragons

A Poem by Claire Chitty
"

"
There once were dragons
and hero's abound, 
and great thundery mountains
'mongst valleys of cloud.
The bards did travel 
singing songs to astound
painting pictures of rescues,
impossible feats, treasures found.
Many hearts did quicken
in chivalrous awe
inspiring deep lessons and
many silvery sword.
The men ran to battle
called to arms by the faith,
leaving behind their chattel
to seek legends and fame.
The ravens now wonder
among dead by the score,
and the once mighty banner
now lies muddied and torn.
For these are our hero's,
our dragons are men.
Our follies are human,
our fairy-tales dead
