Poem -
Last Dragon
Harken beast of the briny sea
Sailor be warned by dire decree
Large as life his teeth score
Hellish is chills on sea floor
Many a ship sunk on brackish storm
As gentle tides transform
Coming forth a marinerβs blight
Eyes that glow by dark of night
Angry lightning Poseidonβs bane
Bestowing a driven rain
Sharpened jowls, carving knife
Cutting short a sailorβs life
Serpentine at waterβs tread
A determined wrath wishes ye dead
A mercy at dawnβs early light
Captainβs prayer by cannon ignite
Halleluiah to a creatureβs demise
A monsterβs heart a valued prize
Vengeful gods have bestowed a decree
Those who kill are fodderΒ for a sea

Hi Lisa you are such a talented poet your vocabulary is amazing do you have an English degree or are you a teacher as your poetic language is brilliant x
Wendy nope to all the above. I have always flourished in English out of high school. I have written poetry since I was 10. I'm in my early fifties now.
