Mother Nature
Rose glanced down to earth,
And back at her baby, Blossom,
Like the true mother she was.
Her leaf green eyes,
Staring menacingly into your soul,
Like a blunt knife being sharpened to the max.
She fashioned oak brown skin,
The thorny texture as a weapon,
Like a city defended only by nettles.
Her lukewarm flame,
Not used as a weapon,
But a second chance.
Rose’s keen teeth,
All pure white beneath the splatters of berry juice,
They’re all deadly enemies.
Her snake like tongue,
As soggy as a sheep in a raging river,
Like a dog’s wet kiss, just a lot more painful.
With scales as veiny as autumn leaves,
Ready to drift to the ground at the slightest gust of wind,
And stickier than a maple tree’s sap.
And a jagged spine,
Perilous to those who dared touch her,
Like the snow-capped Everglades.
With mammoth wings,
Like a large paraglider
Helping her soar unstoppably through the morning breeze.
Sporting razor sharp talons,
Like murderous blades from a horror movie,
Covered with the occasional splatter of blood or berry juice.
Rose had a velvety belly,
Softer than the comfiest blankets and pillows on earth!
Its lumpy texture made it a bit less pleasant, but still fluffy!
She flapped her colossal wings,
And lifted off the cloud she was resting on,
Leaving behind a glint of hope,
And a hint of fear.
I love how the dragons good
This is a powerful and charming poem. I especially like your ending. Mrs Simpson
