Dragon Rider
Hello.
I used to write poems based on fantasy worlds and creatures and eventually started building my own universe, inspired by epic music and such. I want to present to you an old piece I wrote back in the days, a clear example of what I am talking about:
Dragon Rider
Out of doors in gloomy night,
thereabouts where forest lies,
the wind echoed in its flight
upon the dew beneath the skies.
Close, beyond the mountain hills
a loud pair of wings is clapping,
a storm of red, approaching, feels
like a deity is battling.
Out of doors, it’s drizzling slightly,
meanwhile, in a woodland throne
a glare shined, reluctant, brightly,
furtively, but not alone.
Down and down, descending, landing,
scaly beast the bushes swings,
a figure on his back is hanging –
a maiden in between his wings.
I wonder what this creature seeks,
lurking here with its rider.
The crimson dragon nods and peeks,
coloured, lit in blood-red fire.
The nymph-maiden swiftly leapt
and started barefoot moon dancing
in circles, wanton tresses swept
and waved around the dragon glancing.
But suddenly, the dance was stopped,
a cracking branch she heard from there,
the charming nymph on dragon hopped
and vanished, frightened, in the air.

I hope you like it.

She vanished! Wow. Where did she go, I wonder?
Yay for poems with dragons in them (and not getting slain, either). Love me some dragons. :)
It's sad that in most folklore they are described as "the bad guys". In my world, it's the opposite. Thank you for your comment :)
This is an excellent poem! I too love dragon riders and fiction surrounding them, the Inheritance cycle is one of my favorite book series for this reason alone. Have an upvote and a wonderful day!
