Dragon Dance

cosmic miscreant, rude carapace
embered essence, sandalwood face
propelled missile, mystic cannon
heaven’s myst there came a dragon.

amber magnets fused libido
writhing tendons stretched to and fro
drunk from Amphictyonis’ flagon
lust’s contorted dancing dragons

threading clouds with golden linings
no firewall could quench their pinings
immolation poofed they blackened
to ash spent ascending dragons

Fandango’s FOWC is firewall, the Word of the Day Challenge is dragon.

This offering is in the form of a kyrielle poem.

          No :( The dentist isn’t back to town yet. His office lady called me yesterday and set me up with Thursday morning. BUT! about an hour ago they called back and can get me in tomorrow morning at 8:30. I’m able to eat very soft food very carefully right now and still no pain. Goddess is good to me.

  4. I love blackened food and I bet that dragons would taste best when they are blackened.
