Poem Title:
Poem
She crept in silence down to the swamp And saw the dark cave where nobody goes, This whole place shrouded in eldritch trees Primordial feeling of preternatural bewitching, The swamps felt alive yet was as green as the trees Lily pads sat upon it and things below the surface were moving, As dragonflies hovered above with fireflies There was a hum and an eerie kind of dim light And as she crept around to the cave via a ledge Within she saw two large yellow eyes and smelt its sulphur breath, Then as she entered feeling brave and yet scared She saw the dragon laying right there, It stared at her as she studied its scaled skin And the fact she was standing here started sinking in, Then she pulled out a game called Huffle - Winks And waited to see what this great beast would think, She explained she believed it would do her no harm That she believed the dragon relished a life that was peaceful and calm, The dragon nodded its head in accent And lit up the braziers on the walls in its den And she saw the whole place was Luminescent and golden And floor made of soft loamy moss on which to sit in relative comfort And the pair then settled down to play this game of Huffle Winks And in this moment they spent together nothing else existed And the dragonflies and fireflies fluttered in and out of this place, They played until she knew the day was soon to fade away Then on leaving she asked if she could visit again, The dragon nodded it's head in slow but a deliberate way And she could have been mistaken but she was sure that it smiled And she vowed being the dragons friend would now define her lifestyle. 13/5/18
