Hidden Dragon

The dragon dreams of long ago of guarding waters to and fro yet, there he lay upon the grass so sad to see amongst the trash, lost to majesty brought so low. Remnants of power won’t let go, his soul calls, an ancient echo. I collect him, his golden stash the dragon dreams His kettle drum, his symbol too, his entourage, his vassels two, their silken robes and red sash, New Years envelopes full of cash hid in the attic's inferno. the dragon dreams

Almost sounds like an Egyptian beelly dance. The rhythm is just great and you did a super job on this.

stoned is profoundly yet obscurely obsolete, oh no, that's me....your poems are enough to wish there was a way for people to know particular people, outstanding poets, then i would have read you already. AND AS FOR STONED, I SURE WISH DYLAN WOULD MAKE UP HIS MIND, DOES EVERYBODY GOTTA GET STONED OR DOES EVERYONE GOTTA SERVE SOMEBODY? IF YOU KNOW HIM, PLEASE ASK HIM AND GET BACK TO ME ON THAT..thanking you in advance for your cooperation in this matter, i remain, ever so sincerely.....~free!~

no, lady, what you have are the only few things really good poetry required, and that's a flair for the written word, a respect for the verbiage that it might reveal rather than conceal and of course one needs soul, and kid, you got that smeared all over the place. please check your mail, i sent you a response to my response to my poem...now i godda go get stoned...oh no, heavens forbid, i meant i must go and read your poem Stoned....ciao ~free cee!~

Awesome write, Deb! I could picture the dragon parade so well in your words. Didn't know that "new years' envelopes" were supposed to be filled with cash. Perhaps another Oriental custom? Enjoyed, dear. Love, Carolyn
