Undying Serpentine

In many country and many tale, the almighty serpent, a legend regale. From east to west, the myth would thrive in many forms, above the clouds, the creature would dive. Many are monsters and heralds of doom, in their mountainous lairs, the reptile would loom. Others are wise and more docile instead, Hoarders of knowledge and books unread. Capable of flight and fiery rain, Upon the wind, strong wings of twain. Their hides are stronger than most things can pierce, Crafty and voracious and no less fierce. Auspicious is the dragon from china, it hails. With flooding and rainfall, it shimmers it's scales. Godly is the Japanese dragon, rulers of the sea, Spiritual and worshiped by the people esprit. The dragon of England, a tale long told, A symbol of the kingdom, the Wyvern lives bold. Many can be said and described diverse, With stories of thousands with blessing and curse. Extinct or missing, from modern eyes this day, Yet undying in our stories, the immortal dragon will stay.
