The Dragon Retreats

The Dragon Retreats

A Poem by Fireyphoenix
"

A poem of injustice

"
The dragon retreats, passion's flame dying down. His worthy opponents stealing his ground! Withholding his fire his power so strong. Not wanting to burn them even though they are wrong. The dragon he steps so cautiously back. His opponents deceitfully planning their attack. He lunges toward them with angered grace. Not wanting to hurt them only to keep them in place. Like a game of chess there goal is revealed. So soon it will be the dragons fate sealed. To kill a dragon and extinguish its flame. To the victors the spoils for its head mounts their shame.

How dare the little fickle b******s >=(
The dragon should have killed them.... ;-;
Though if he did, I suppose this poem wouldn't have such an affect. Goodness, reading this made ME want to burn something down.
*sob*
Dude, this is heart wrenching.
Why would they want to kill something so caring?

Sad for the dragon...by any chance are you a game of thrones fan?!! It cant be this simple...is perhaps the dragon symbolic of passion lost or destroyed because of social/family pressures?

I enjoyed reading your poem. The pace and rhythm intensified as the fighting increased. I was hooked right from the first few words and could have kept on reading, but it ended just as swift as it began. Nice work.

I really loved this dragon tale! The powerful dragon is merciful, but it costs him his life at the hands of those he spared. Tragedy. Very poetic indeed.

I really like this a lot. The character of the dragon was honorable and that was cool. You need to edit one little thing...The word there should be "their" in the line "their goal is revealed" It is just a quick and easy edit.
Thank you for sharing
