Dragon, part of ancient earth
in awesome power flies,
wings of steel to cross the world
as fear in hearts arise.
Be one with earth and starry skies
and beauty you shall see,
those burning eyes so mesmerise
as breath of fire frees.
To be one with this mighty beast
and fly to lands unknown,
this ruler of celestial space
resides 'pon kingly throne.
Those cunning eyes will sear the soul
for those who don't believe
and through those dreams of nightly fear
his images deceive.
Oh take me on these strongest wings
to the heavens and beyond
and fly in deadly circle sphere
where fantasy responds.

another solid write against the prompt. Don't do dragons much myself, but I liked the way this reads.

Very lovely poem on the prompt. You did a wonderful job. I like your imagery and metaphors you used so wisely. Lines below are so nice.
Those cunning eyes will sear the soul

Nothing like the picture of a dragon to bring out the creative juices in people and you certainly have done so with this one. I love dragons and can see in this imagery of a beast in a fairytale word lost to the reality of ours. Your words are deep and strong and yet show a peaceful and yearning side to them. To fly away with the dragon and lose yourself in its realm. Glorious. Great rhythm, rhyme and flow. I wish you the very best in the contest.

Great take on prompt! Dragon spirit captured in flowing rhyme appropriate for such majesty! Your poem as usual is so fluid!
-
Flawless rhyme as usual, I don't see many dragon poems that capture the true power of what a dragon is supposed to be. This one does.
