Dragon Queen Poem by Teri Peavy

Shhh the dragon she does sleep and she is in the castle keep she has been resting for forever long she was bespelled by a sea witches song she was tricked and laid to slumber while the witch her hoard she plundered but feel the ground beneath your feet feel it on fire from the dragons heat? She burns while she dreams of reclaiming her crown and burning the witches stolen kingdom to the ground everything rumbles and everything shakes as the dragon springs up as she wakes a roar unlike any other sound flattens the grass and knocks trees down the sun is blacked by dragon wings and on the distant shore begin the screams and you hear the witches cackeled laugh its built on water lizard you can't burn that as this challenge fills the air you can feel the rage in the dragons glare a deep shuddering intake of breath makes it feel like there no air left and a mighty white blue flame hits the water in a brilliant pane and steam boils up and the sea people scream as skin peels off bone white clean the sea is now a cloud on land and only the sea witch is left to stand defiantly she begins to chant one of her magic poisoned rants the dragon doesn't miss a beat quick like lightning in storms heat the witch is snatched up with tongue ripped out eye to eye with the dragons snout quickly like a child with a doll arms and legs are set to fall the stumps burned quick with a dragon kiss a chain is threaded thru her ribs around the dragons neck she hangs constantly wishing she'd died in flames
