Fire Dragon's Roar

Strong muscled beast
flies across the sky,
blocking out the sun.
Hunting a feast
of anything nearby
that dares to try outrun


the Fire Dragon's roar.

Each beat of wing
creates a mighty blast,
topples tall houses flat.
His red fires bring
burning death fast;
from the embers spat


in the dragon's roar.

Knights and Kings quail
like a dog kicked,
speak fevered prayer.
Fair maiden's wail
for rescue quick!
Hearts cry loud dispair,

when they hear,

the Fire Dragon's roar.

Author notes

PROMPT: Year of the Dragon - Dragons are symbolic of good fortune and luck. Those born under this sign are virile, grandiose and good-looking, and are destined for great things. Recent years include 1976, 1988 and 2000.
