The Guardians

We'll stand beside the sacred spring of life
And hold it safe despite what man would do
For dragonkind was here when life was new
And still stands guard against the worst of strife

So deep within this orb we call the Earth
Where life began within the heated rocks
'Twas dragonfire that cleared away the blocks
So DNA could prove its vital worth

And now the noble beasts must stand and fight
To save the world of life from mortal doom
You'll see their mighty shapes within the gloom
When folly by our leaders kills the light

The magic that they hold within their fire
They'll spend to see that life cannot expire

    Definitely fun!

    And something that a dragon lover like me can relate to.

    Enjoyed the heroic aspect of this piece, the dragons defending their territory. We can count on them to keep the rest of us safe apparently. Well, we do need someone, why not them? Hope they are not too disgusted with us. Oh, sounds like they will wait until the 11th hour.

    This comment may sound rather negative but I thing the piece is great. Wonderful wording, rhyme and flow.

    This is a beautiful Sonnet and the Dragon was the perfect metaphor. Our ailing society seems doomed to expire in a ball of flames!!! Loved this!!! Ithica!

    Clear in its message, flowing in it rhymed form...
    this represents the theme well and presents a
    portrait of dragons to echo my own sentiments.

    there is much of current events in this poem... some political words of wisdome too reminds me why i am causious when casting my vote. but then again i think this is no longer a place run by the people but a place the people are led by a nose ring made of propiganda.... i choose to did a bit deeper and from the poem above it looks as if you do to.. good write and good luck in the contest

    A very powerful write Jeff. Mankind will pay for its wanton destruction of our planet.

    This piece expresses the stewardship and majestic aura of the powerful Dragon's will in protecting all life natural on Earth. Despite the ignorance of mankind in desecration of its gifts. Nice meter and smooth read.
