A Dragons Demise

Amethyst eyes

reflected the fire

flowing from the mouth

that fueled the death pyre

 

Scales sharp as razors

taut as a sheath

covered powerful muscle

that rippled beneath

 

Green, gold and amber

in firelight glowed

with proud wings unfurled

the head remained bowed

 

Homage was paid

an ancient life gone

the sentinel remained

'til the coming of dawn

A great write. Would dragons be considered dinosaurs. There's a contest for dinosaurs.
