The Dragon

Its eyes are on fire

like the fiery breath it breathes

every day.

From a tail

more gold than a royal’s crown,

spouts a ninja star as big as a bulldozer.

 

The dragon’s wings as strong as can be ,

are very much bat-like,

though a million times stronger.

 

Claws as sharp as an Eagle’s beak,

collect and kill prey.

 

Jaws strong enough and big enough

to break a boulder in half,

seat teeth as jagged and sharp

as uncut diamonds.

 

A tongue as rough as sandpaper

drains blood from delicious prey.

 

My dragon is unstoppable.

  5. Hello Sophie,

    What a descriptive and imaginative poem! I could really imagine the dragon’s tongue being ‘as rough as sandpaper’. Well done!
