Sillhouete of black,
Fangs of pure white,
A dragon of power,
A dragon of old,
A dragon from stories,
Blessed with power untold.
Burning skeletons to ashes,
The victim in throes wildly thrashes.
Decisively triumphs,
Her anger and spite.
The fangs of the dragon unveiled in the night.
Attacking the home, the village, the town.
Nothing is safe,
Destruction abounds.
Hunting the hunted,
Scarring the realm,
The dragon will not cease,
Until her work here is done.
Treasure to dragons, the softest of beds,
Gold and silver pillows her head.
A pirate of the skies,
An intrepid imp with fire eyes.
Winged terror swoops,
Claws rend and tear.
Run foolish mortals,
Rending your throat without care.
Yeild to the power,
Yeild to the strength,
Yeild to the slaying death flower,
She seals your fate.
The Ryu*,
The ethereal,
The dragon passes over.
All other evils move over.
A dragon is stalking the night.
*:Ryu is pronounced Ri-oo and it's Japanese for dragon.

I wrote this poem for a contest. It took me about threee minutes, but it's probably the best I've ever written that quickly.

Fantastic poem
That rocked! It vividly described the dragon...both terrifying and beautiful. Excellent job, Kelsey! -
The imagery in this is wonderful. The reader can see and feel the presence of the dragon through every word. I enjoyed the almost panic like state that you set for this work. Nicely done.

okay so this isnt my type of peom but yeah I liked it, the imagery was great and yeah good write keep it up
-
well, for three minutes, it's exceptional. But it's not my personal fave as far as flow goes. to me, it seemed like you were trying to go everywhere and you got bits and peices in the same rhyme scheme and others in different rhymes.
i will, however, applaud you on your images and the general feel of the piece-both deeply rooted in fantasy. Great job! -
Cool
