A Dragon'sTears

Dragons and slayers a battle for life. Written for the Minus the Vowel I Poetry Contest

Thanks for the chance to try something new.


Dragons descend upon the dead,
that float upon a sea of red.
Flames sear at the hearts of men,
for slayers have found the dragon's den.

Crystal tears fall from the sky
as broken hearted dragons cry.
Saddened by a lonely fate
a dragon searches for her mate.

Slayers left a long strewn bed
of dragon corpses and cut off heads.
The broken heart of a dragon lay
on a scattered bed of new mown hay.

Slowly beats the lonely heart
for the dragon she loves was torn apart.
Less and less are left to dwell
for man has made a wanton hell.

As her heated breath ceases to burn.
her lonely heart starts to yearn.
Try as they may the dragon's cry,
for another that went to the last good-by.
