The Tears of the Dragons.

A tale of Dragons. A tale of Duality. Two poems for the price of one!

The Tears of the Dragons.

Held in the heart of man's woven legends lies,

the magical manifestation of the elemental beast.

The grand vision of flame in flight, sets the mind to

the all encompassing wonder of a Dragon on the wing.

Immortality the foundation of their constellation destiny,

the path forged in a ferocious fire, kindled in tempest's heart.

The unconquerable depths of the emerald windows to their soul,

speak of a hermetical wisdom, a omnipotent warrior prophet.

Preaching the golden way through conflagration's eternal blaze.

Devastation, ruination, the prelude to a rebirth revolution.

A world reborn from cinder dark ashes, the embers charcoal glow,

now fertilized by the Dragons silvered tears, the lost Atlantis grows.

Author's Note

Hopefully this poem can be taken two ways. Firstly a legend of Dragons and secondly as a hermetical truth within man........but I will leave that to the reviewers to decide........I wonder which way you read it the first time???

Reviews

[Becca Bishop]

This is amazing! I'll be honest with you - I saw the picture of the dragon and I started squealing. A dragon poem!!!! Wooo!!!!! But then I read it....and I read it again....and I read it a third time because I don't like even numbers. And then I just sat there. Wow. I felt incredibly childish. You're poem is incredibly deep and I think I might've gotten lost in the sea of the "inner truth of mankind". If you happen to have a rowboat, or even a rubber ducky inner tube..... Where was I? Um....in a roundabout and ridiculous fashion, I'm trying to say good write! I could've just said that outright, but then you wouldn't have gone down to your basement and dug up that inner tube for me. It just struck me how utterly stupid this whole review sounds. I'm sorry. I'll shut up now.

(Pssst!!! It's me again!!! Just wanted to reiterate that I loved, loved, loved, loved, really loved, and totally enjoyed loving your poem :D K, that's it)

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

And winner of the most unique and charmingly quirky review on Writers Cafe goes to..........(((((drum roll))))........................Becca Bishop for her Tears of the Dragon Critique.

[Tate Morgan]

i agree she is a woman of quality

[Chris]

she really "loved" it...

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Do you think she loved it???

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah I do and if she didnt she sure fooled me.the length and depth of a review says a lot about the way it moves another.Always should pay homage to those who do so much for us

[Chris]

she came back... and ADDED and added... yeah, I think she "loved" it.

[Revolutionary]

I take it as we are all part of a dragon having a war within itself.If the pure dragon prevails we shall be gods,but if the punitive dragon rises then we shall all fall victim to the breath of fire.A collective subconscious that teeters on the edge of fire and dragons wings

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Pretty close to the mark and well read Rev :)

[Poison Ivy]

god, this incredible!!! love it!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Dragons VS Witches .......what do you reckon PI??

[Lena M. P.]

I found a lot of metaphor to the mystical and mankind. The rebirth of Atlantis through the tears of the dragon. Mankind at it's finest and yet lost to the world. The end of this world as we know it and the all mighty being bring it back to try again. The immortality of the dragon to the Armageddon of mankind. Spiritual.

Before I speak:

"speak of a hermetical wisdom, a omnipotent warrior prophet." "a omnipotent" - my mind kept changing "a" to an.

I liked the tastes, tones, and flow. The final breath set the tone for each rereading. Presenting Atlantis was perfect.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Thank you Chris. Yes presenting Atlantis was the cherry on the cake for me...this was one of them poems that wrote itself as it was great fun to write.

[Katherine Enma Pineappl..]

I loved this poem for many reasons plus I love dragons. They're one of the few animals I've learned to research and draw as I grew. This poem had me smiling and treasure those moments so I have to thank you. :D

Your way of writing brought about many visuals in my mind and it has raised a lot of questions in my mind that I have come to answer. I probably at first saw more of a legend of Dragons then when I read it again I was able to see something hidden there.

Amazing

Lovely write

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Everybody loves Dragons!! I wonder what they think though if it had been their town they had burnt down or it was their daughter they had to sacrifice. LOL!

[Katherine Enma Pineapple]

Then people wouldn't love dragons as much :/ Personally I like the mysterious quality their legends include in them and the wonder that comes when you hear it

[Tate Morgan]

I like the truth about humanity It fits us well Does it not?

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Indeed Mr Morgan........some though struggle with the truth.......

[Tate Morgan]

We all shun the truth most of the time.But it always gets to us doesnt it

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Yes it took me a while though.......but now its here......its time to make hay!

[Phantom Heart]

I think that it can be looked at both ways. The first time I read it I read it as a dragon legend. Then I read deeper. I enjoyed this and I appreciate the visual from your writing. You have a good play on words and I thank you for sharing this with everyone!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Thank you M This one was written especially for the Writers Cafe Anthology am working on publishing. The Magical Mythical Mystery Compendium....see my group page :)

[Junger]

WOW an outstanding, speechless i have become after reading this piece, including the picture is an amazing dragon which add fatigue (beauty) to this poem i really enjoyed this piece many complements to you who have written this piece.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Cheers J I wanted to do a Dragon poem for ages but I wanted it to escape from the normal type I think I managed to pull it off here.

[Junger]

you did an out stadning job to be honest

[EdenHarper]

I don't know what I can say that would compare to Becca Bishops one-of-a-kind review ;) all I can do is to 100% agree with her.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Thanks Eden.....her review was quite unique lol!
