Dragonskin Slippers

My daughter has been reading a book called 'Dragonskin Slippers' by Jessica Day George and the title captured my imagination.

 

Dragonskin Slippers are all the rage

I don’t care if their red, blue or beige

Dragonskin Slippers are on my list

I’ll buy them ‘cos I’m sure they exist

 

 

Dragonskin Slippers with a buckle on top

All shiny and new on the rack in the shop

Dragonskin Slippers to put on my feet

To make them look pretty and feel so neat

 

 

Dragonskin Slippers will lead me a dance

And if I find them it’ll be by chance

Dragonskin Slippers I really do need

For my pleasure to be just guaranteed

 

 

Dragonskin Slippers oh how I wish

To make me feel so terribly swish

Dragonskin slippers on my feet you will sit

If only they were real I have to admit

 

(The title is taken from a book by Jessica Day George)

Reviews

[J. James Reider]

I like this work because it has a wonderful flow to it... I love how you utilized rhyme in this piece as well... your lines are very organized with a good meter to tie them together... the first stanza sticks with nine syllables while the second stanza jumps to eleven syllables... very well rounded work! Excellent!

Full of laugh out loud fun. Very imaginative and delightful. A real feel good read. Good stuff!
