Dragon Cloud

Picture the scene
In the Arizona sun
A column of rock
Upon it a Dragon stands
 
Created by nature
Moisture and vapour
An artist would marvel
To portray it on paper
 
This beast of beasts
On ceremonial stance
Looking down on the land
In its staring trance

This mystical creature
Seems out of place
On indigenous lands
Their tribal place

Through out our world
Nature always amazes
Showing different pictures
In many places

So all you poets
Who are photo takers
Upload them now
As were story makers

" inspired by an amazing photo sent to me by Carolyn,
           which is on my blog if you care to view "

Hi James, I so enjoyed this piece. The image of the dragon captured me. I love dragons. I can actually see the dragon in the rock but then I tend to imagine things such as this in just about anywhere or anything I see in my travels. I love to use my imagination. Melody?
