Inner Beast

A special poem written for a friend. She loves dragon's and anybody who loves dragon's as well should love this poem.

Inner Beast

 

 

Child of wonder

Child of flame

Do you this night wish to remain

A human on the mortal plain?

 

A Dragon you could become

With a heart of flame

And a fork for a tongue.

 

Mighty wings could raise you up

Beyond the girth of a mighty gust

Just use your wings to give you thrust.

 

Thick and massive legs and arms

Are covered in bright scales

With this armor fear no harm.

 

A limber tail you will have

This deadly tail is spiked and barbed

Toss your foes like a rag.

 

A simple incantation you can say

Around you smoke and thunder fills the air

Transformed you are, be on your way

Fly away glorious Dragon it's a new day.

This is fantastic. I for one love dragons, and pretty much every mythical creature out there (mermaids!!) aha. But I like that this isn't just about a dragon, it's about someone's "inner-dragon" or someone's darker side trapped within themselves, wanting to unleash it. That's how I saw it anyway, which is something I think we all can relate to. Embracing your darker side is important I think, as even though it's dark, it's part of you and hiding it just darkens it all the more. I loved this piece, it said a lot to me.

Well done :D

I love your imagery! I could see the dragon you described! Good job I can't wait to read more of your writing!

i like the story. very fantasy and free. Technicalities, I only have to say that your meter was off a bit. Other than that, you wrote a lovely poem with good imagery too!

Quite well written, DarkFairy. This has a nice flow to it, and a genuine structure. In contrast, some writers seem to abandon a true structure to their poetry. Overall, it was like reading a homage to Dragons. And, of course, that is primarily why this piece was written.

In some details, it manages to portray the power and majesty of a Dragon. Also, in some ways, a bizarre kind of beauty. Looking forward to more, DarkFairy!
