Tempted dragon
broken fire
Forever chosen
marked fantasy
Space between
below and never
Spirit keeper
treasured beast
Dragon Carving in Yuyuan Garden, Shanghai, China

Special Note: This poem started as a poetical inspired by sci-fi and fantasy book titles. I ended up playing with it a little more by adding a few new words until I realized how well it went with this photograph. My muse is once again jumping from mode of creativity to another!

I’m just sitting here, watching a preview of an upcoming film on one of the movie channels … and the title is: There Be Dragons!!!
Loved the poem … and the dragon too! Think I’d need a rather large fire extiguisher, though 🙂
