Mythical Creature of Old

Scales of azure and emerald green, Adorn tri-folding translucent wings, Radiating an iridescent sheen, Off this mythical creature of old... Crimson flames with every breath, His eyes shrewd with amber hue, One touch was the kiss of death, From this mythical creature of old... Soaring high in sapphire skies, Thunder roaring over the land, Queens shuddered hearing the cries, Of this mythical creature of old... Knights in armor searched in wild, This dragon they could not find, Kings sat upon thrones beguiled, Over this mythical creature of old... Untouched by swordsmen’s blades, Beyond aim of hunter’s bow, Capture he evades, This mythical creature of old... written for Dragons contest by The Silent One 10/22/15
