"The Dragon Night" by Alison J. McKenzie
SciFi/Fantasy text 4 out of 13 by Alison J. McKenzie. ←Previous - Next→
| A simple dragon poem . . . |
   |
The dragon's eye;
an emerald oasis
in a sea of black tides
that ripple across
the creatures back
in the form of scales.
Teeth like thousands
of knives protruding
from the black
gleaming gums,
illuminated as moonlight
cascades down their ridges
like quicksilver.
Many muscles flex
as the creature rises,
exposing powerful
arms and legs.
It unfolds its wings
and stretches them
to their fullest extent;
huge batlike wings
with glossy black membrane
pulled tight against
hard bone which forms
into a single claw that
curves out of the membrane
on the highest point of the wings.
The creatures tail
slashes about as it stretches;
a deadly scythe-like tail
with a poison tip.
Shadows slowly slink
into the distance
as the solar sphere
comes into view
and sunrise shatters
the night sky.
The creature looks
to the horizon
and takes flight.
