This is just a little poem that I wrote & submitted to Poetry.com. It was a finalist entry. But they wanted me to do all sorts of stuff with it, and I was just like, "NO". I do NOT recommend submitting your work to Poetry.com. You get all sorts of ridiculous things in the mail, and it's VERY, VERY confusing.

Anyways, enjoy! Please review!

An elegant dragon sits in her cave on this day

The beautiful colors of her scales locked away-- locked away in the darkness that she calls home

What did I do to see this sight?

A beautiful dragon of power and might

I wrote this poem, a story maybe

The story of how I climbed a many cliffs, and sailed a many seas, and not once have I seen such colors as these

The exquisite gold in her mysterious eyes

Her scales were the size of diamonds, I tell you no lies

She was a graceful ruby, purple, blue, and green and all the colors in between

They blended together in an elegant way, more beautiful than the sun setting on the bay

Her moves held the wisdom of thousands of years, showing no flaws, and absolutely no fears

Then, without warning, she spread out her wings; the leather glistened like sapphire rings

And with a huff and a breath, she flapped her enormous wings, and was gone, captured in a picturesque view

The moon held her grace, And was whiter than lace

One thought ran through my mind:

My journey was over All had said I traveled forever, for nothing

But I will always remember the beautiful scales, sealed away in the darkness she called home

Her large rock dome

A beautiful memory, a vivid dream
