Hissing Dragon

Hissing heartshaped
Dragon draped route
Escaped ship slips

Camouflaged trap
Seaward map shown
Sails slap in breeze

Portal to sea
Songs of glee flow
From freedom's voice  

Inspired by Debbie's contest..

Dear Sara, You brought the dragon to life in this write. Dragons are symbolic of many things, especially for Asians, but I always think of them the way you describe -- "camouflaged traps" for sailing ships. Wonderful use of imagery, my friend. How are you feeling? I miss hearing from you and have been praying for your health. Love, carolyn
