Dragon Patterns

This was inspired by an amazing drawing by Suzie

I thought I had drawn a pattern
From the image in my mind
But with no shape or form 
Or reason I could find

But then it started moving
With a breath that was its own
And before I had blinked once 
I noticed it had grown

And from the spirals wings came
Pencilled flames rolled off its tongue
And its roar was so loud and mighty
Like the loudest bell it rung

The celtic knotwork dragon
And the haunted way that he could sing
Caused him to come to life and
He left the page and took to wing
