"Puuurrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

We keep our promises

Real or Memorex? Non or Fiction?  This one is for Laury's lil friend... Ashlyn...

"Puuurrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

I saw a Dragon... in the clouds scudding by.  It passed so quickly into, through and then beyond - that all I could do was breathe... and witness.  I saw the smoke wisp from its nostrils... the utter absence of existence in its eyes. 

...And its touch!!
the mist as it crossed the land. 
The sheer SIZE as it dwarfed
  EVERYTHING...
and the silence
- after its ROAR!!

I saw a Dragon...
and god - it saw me.

Accentric, bashful and altogether quite, quite sweet, well done, good read.

I had to read this 3 times! Purrrr.........? I thought....this is no cat! What a creative poem Chris. I enjoy your eccentric writings very much. :)

A sweetness of words, well thought, divinely given, and a kindness of roaring!
(Smiling, fidgeting my feet, sniffing, wishing i was young again and still believed in dragons .. but now i know they're only clouds in a bad temper!

At first I thought "Puuurrrrrrrrrrrrrr = Cat! Yay!" but I like dragons too. :D Very nice, reminds me of a hiku though. Love the emphasizing of the words. I could hear the roar and see its size compared to everything. Love it! :) Please do one about cats?! :)

love this- how loud the silence and how loud the roar- great ending too- hope you turned and fled- or did you draw your sword or conjure a spell ? :)
