dragons for breakfast

it's a long story

I was a vegetarian
nearly half my life,

I woke up one day
and had a dragon
for breakfast.

That was the day
you realized
I had checked out.

In Wales, they have dragon sausages, made from the dragon sausage company. You should google it, just for the laugh you'll g the warning....It says "Does not contain dragon meat." :)

Not yet, but maybe some day.:)

Noooooot quite sure how I feel about eating dragons.
I'll need to get back to you on that.

[Lyn Anderson]

All of a sudden you realize what you were doing wasn't working. And you change. :) Thanks for reading.

[Moonie]

It certainly takes courage to eat a dragon. I associated this with children's stories where the dragon eats the damsel. A rather good way of turning the tables.....

[Lyn Anderson]

Nicely put thanks for the visit.

Is their not a certain (forgive me), dogma, preached by vegans and vegetarians alike, that all meat is inherently bad for us and that to subsist on an omnivorous diet, such as humans are meant to do, proved simply by the kinds of teeth we have, is somehow bad for mother earth? I mean not to preach, In fact I compliment you on how well you capture that feeling of lethargic woe in this piece. Very well done. Would love to try Dragon Fruit someday.

[Lyn Anderson]

Well personally I was a vegetarian for reasons unrelated to morals, but that's really not what this piece is about.

[realmwriter]

I didn't think so, but it is no less a good write. But now I am curious of course?

There is no nourishment without life and holding on just isn't enough life to survive!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for the read and review

Almost always we cling on the bitter end, and then foolishly beyond. It makes no sense really, but there is always the faint hope that tomorrow will be different.

I have my beautiful eight year old son Charlie to remind me of what was, for now that is enough.

Beccy.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, thank you. And ditto than on my 9 and 7 year old daughters.

Kit Kat a person can either keep being in a bad situation and remain a vegetarian or eat a dragon for breakfast.You write the best lines :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I so appreciate it. I have to say this is totally my favourite I have written in a long time. It has a lot of meaning for me.

[Vidya Bacchus]

I really loved it but then I do have a lot to catch up on and to be fair you have yet to pen a poem that I don't like.You are welcome :)

[Lyn Anderson]

That is the nicest compliment. The feeling is mutual, as far as liking your poems.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thanks cat that means a lot because I do value your opinion a lot.

A boy tried to intimidate my daughter recently by saying "I'm a dinosaur that eats little girls".
She turned around and snapped back that she's 'a little girl that eats dinosaurs'.
We don't ever choose to be the victim but it's a proud moment when you choose to stop being the victim.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for that.

[Matching Socks]

((Hug))
You're welcome.

To me the dragon you ate sybolized the courage you found to leave an unpleasant situation.

[Lyn Anderson]

Absolutely. There are my own personal reasons for choosing that, but you are very right, thanks for visiting.
