Butterfly Fan Dragon
Find some common ground if you are fearful, my mother said.
Why wouldn’t I be scared? This is a dragon with an enormous head.
I tiptoed up cautiously and asked him if he liked to play games.
He threw back his head and breathed red and orange fire in flames.
I was terrified, and I guess he know by my wide-eyed look.
Come closer, he told me. I have a monarch butterfly book.
A butterfly flew up and perched sassily on his knee.
I had rather good time then, though we watched no TV.
I love Luna moths, bunnies, and cardinals too, the dragon told me.
I recognized as he talked that he had a sweet and soft personality.
We became friends, and I named him Butterfly Fan.
He loved it and said “Yes! I am the Man!”
