Dueling Dragons Poem by Practicing Poetess

Dueling Dragons

Rating: 5.0


Spitfire and Sharptooth
Spewing fireballs
Baring claws, and
Roaring calls
Scales on end
Like a bristled cat's tail,
Throwing flames
Across hill and dale.

Sharptooth dodges;
Spitfire misses.
His master's house
To the ground sizzles and hisses.
Now Spitfire's grounded
And homeless. too.
Don't play with fire
It's bad for you.

Throwing flames across hill and dale this poem has brought a powerful imagery ahead. You have drafted a brilliant perceptional poem about dragon and fighting and this expresses wise humor. Amazing sharing is done here.10

Thanks, Kumarmani. People don't generally know this fact, but Dragon Fights are the reason that Firefighters and Fire Departments came into being. ;)

Loved the humor and the moral of this poem... and the cartoon icing. :)

Cartoon icing- - love that description! I grew up on too much Aesop's Fables and Grimm's Fairy tales, so I suppose at the core of me, there's a part that feels each story or poem should have a moral. Plus, I had to preserve the rhyme scheme- - too, you. Happy that I could bring a smile to your face!

And, who do you suppose inspired me to include a picture with my poem? It's just that it took me awhile to be able to figure out how to do it! The How to train your dragon film series was partly responsible for inspiring this poem. Then, I recalled this Parker & Hart comic, and realised that it would suit very well! I had fun with this one.
