The Dragon Bard Poem by Milan Van Zuyen

The Dragon Bard

Rating: 5.0


Oh Dragon's soul, that breathes the flame
Always twisting, learning, and new
Passionate yet conceited, you seek not fame
While strange, pretty baubles you pursue

Dynamic, tenacious, and charismatic
Possessing eloquence, confidence, and poise
With cleverness and wit, you're a maverick
Ever in pursuit of new escapades and joys

You're stubborn, ruthless, and obstinate
Such as all great rulers are known to be
You crave attention yet work best in private
With stately form and a predilection for tea

Being inherently contradictive and auspicious
Inspired your philosophy of intrepid audacity
Wary of others who oft are cruel and suspicious
Vigilantly remembering mankind's mendacity

Despite many hard lessons, dauntlessly you proceed
Finding solace in your passion for diverse art
And to dance, sing, ànd write you still gaily accede
As it is pure folly to do aught but follow your heart

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
For the record, I was born in the year of the Dragon according to the chinese zodiac. As was my baby brother- Levi.
I only make note of this to give some context to the perspective on the piece. I hope you enjoy it! =D
PS. I don't know how well it actually came out so comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
