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.
Your dragon sounds terrifying Sophie! I especially liked your image describing his tongue, well done.
A tongue as rough as sandpaper
drains blood from delicious prey.

Dear Sophie,
Your poem is super!
I especially love your description about the teeth in the jaws which ‘seat Teeth as sharp and rough as uncut diamonds.’
Very well done!

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