Sonnet 19: The Fire Breathing Dragon Came Calling Poem by David Wood

Sonnet 19: The Fire Breathing Dragon Came Calling

Rating: 4.5


The fire breathing dragon came calling
And her fiery tongue breathes against me.
With you she sides, l just hear her balling
When my sweet heart all I do is praise thee.
Why does your dear mother bark so loudly?
She would put many a guard dog to shame
How does she do this exercise proudly?
In my own home and profane my good name.
But if I ply her with good wine and food
Would this now soothe her angry frame of mind?
And put her in a more delicate mood
And bury this hatchet that she does grind.
A mother in law can be a blessing
But when crossed can be very distressing.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is pure fiction and is not about any mother in law I know, or is it!

The title arrested the attention and i thought this time it is going to be some different content, but the poem is very interesting and full of wit! @ poet's notes: you can't write about any character you don't know or can you?

Too true. If not a mother in law maybe a well being elder relative, who knows.
