The dawn came
With a promise of great happiness
But you,
with your dragon breath,
You clouded the sky
Birds stopped singing
Flowers stopped blooming
Rivers stopped short
On their way to the ocean
While time lay trapped
In perma frost
Excellent imagery which, to me, is what poetry is all about. Take care. Warm regards, Sandra

Strong dramatic penning Leonard. You manage to say much in such a few lines - now that's poetic! 'Dragon breath' works brilliantly, too. love, Allie xxxx
