Communing With Nature

Dragon was watching the nature channel, and decided that… Communing with nature, is where, IT must really… be at! He wanted to know: What nature is. What part is he? Is he more than that? You’d think he’d start at home, but NO! He went to the park, of course! The park with it’s mowed lawns, and yes, where the pigeons are, in force! He ran to an elderly man, feeding pigeons, from a bag, on a bench, of course. The answer: we’re all part of nature, just nature prime, cause we’re smarter. Each one’s unique, walk in others shoes, and the answers are there to garner. Either, he didn't know the trouble he’d stir, or wanted a new story this week. I glimpsed a paparazzi camera, partially concealed, that he did quickly seek. Dragon immediately chose the pigeons, and I knew this wouldn't be good. Especially, when a wild pack of paparazzi suddenly and very quickly stood. He picked pigeons, cause they fly like him and are slow at getting away. Plus he’s banned from the Nature Area, after his flames burned it one day. First he followed the pigeons and checked out everything they did eat. He wasn't too impressed as breadcrumbs and birdseed were their treats. Then they flew to the 5-tiered fountain for a splash and feather bath, today. But they had to leave when Dragon joined them, toppling it clear away. The commotion took them to tree limbs, that broke under Dragons’ weight. The park benches fared much better, as they toppled backwards, I must say. The bronze statue looked more hopeful, till the Park Sheriff came his way. The Sheriff of Crazyland fussed and shouted, till they all flew quickly off. But now, Dragon had perfected the pigeon technique: of drop a load and fly. It as a shame the Sheriff of Crazyland, was waving and shouting so close by. Gee! I never knew, that the Sheriff could blow steam, like our Dragon can. Tho, apparently, Dragons’ is much hotter as the statue arm, melted and ran. But Dragon complimented him on his steam anyway, as he deftly flew away. I just stood there and shook my head… as there was going to be heck to pay! Now… you know why the Sheriff and Dragon simply will never get along. For the Sheriff has now made it possible for Dragon to commune with... ‘The New Leash Law’.

Enjoyable poem. Where do legends of dragons come from? They seem to be present in many cultures. A mystery to me. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
