Be thee of an age to remember Dragons,
Of beasts that soared the air
With eyes that shone like fierce orbs
Talons that grasped fleeing man
Knights on chargers, lances sharpened
Hunted, killed and claimed heroic status
Yet many a knight left behind family
To be roasted on sulphur flames
Kings of Olde lay bounty on Dragons
Now the land be bereft of beauty on high
Dragon blood, Dragon tears lay in wait
To be spewed forth from forgotten wells
In glowing brimstone, rain
The tears and blood falls to earth
Again the dragon will take to the grave
Man and his arrogance of life.

Wow, I like this so much and the imagination in this is fantastic. the flow is great and the way you wrote this is amazing I never read something like this before this is good I enjoyed reading this at first I didn't know if I had time to read this because I have school but I read it and I like it my favorite lines are " Dragon blood, Dragon tears lay in wait
To be spewed forth from forgotten wells
In glowing brimstone, rain
The tears and blood falls to earth
Again the dragon will take to the grave
Man and his arrogance of life."
