Dragons!
Twirling through the skies in iridescent colors
Swirling the clouds into downward spirals,
their spiked tails slicing into the heavens
as they barrel-roll into the darkened storms
Of the sky’s blazing dance of fire and water
Columns of smoke rising
from downward cyclones of spiraling jaws
ripping through the fabric into space
Snap!
Wings opening, leveling the flight
as they glide over the mountain-tops
and skim through the ocean’s waters.
Fire!
Blasting from their mighty jaws
running over forests
and setting the earth ablaze
Blood!
as they dive, ripping into their prey
the hunt driving them to madness
As talons rip into the living flesh
of an unfortunate meal
Peace…
as the dragons return to their cave
Their hatchlings warbling for food
A sentry set to guard the Lairs
but their Death…
lays at the hands of reality…

This is awesome.. I like the small one-syallable words you use at the beginning of each stanza. This is a wonderfully written descriptive poem that you have penned here. A job well done..
Thank you so much for entering this lovely piece in my contest. Best of luck and keep on writing,
Nooni

This is a beautiful piece. But I'm sorry I'll have to remove it form the contest since it is a 13 and under contest and you're 16. But I did really enjoy it :D

Dragon loaf
An interesting concept. Especially dragons as sausages. Being reptiles, I wonder if they'd have a fishy flavor... I think I need to go catch a snake and make sausage of it just so I can get an idea of what dragon sausage might taste like... I'd have to flame-broil it of course... -

Google dragon meat sausages

My favorite part of the story
is where the regulators are quoted saying the sausages have to be relabled because they don't want any vegetarians accidentally buying them thinking them to be meat-free. rofl! Couldn't you just see a couple veggies sitting down at the dinner table...
veggie1: Oh say.. what's this? Are we having meat tonight?
veggie2: Oh no dear, these are DRAGON meat sausages and everyone knows dragons don't exist, so they can't possibly have actual meat in them...
veggie1: MMmmmph! Well they sure LOOK like meat
veggie2: CHomp! and they sure TASTE like meat
both together: Aiiiiiieeeeeeeee!!!! We've been duped!
