The Winter and The Dragon

by Christina

The dragon takes

A flying leap

And lands into the snow.

The claws they scrape

As the snow creeps

Over the gigantic toes.

The snowflakes

Fly in circles

Around the dragon’s head.

The  flakes

Of snow seem purple

And dragon’s snout glows red.

The dragon snaps

At snowflakes

As they flee from shining teeth,

They overlap

Around his flanks

And make a sparkling wreath.

The dragon digs

A burrow

As the wind breaths through his scales,

He finds a fig

And then goes

Towards his home to read of Wales.

The wind grabs

At the dragon

And digs cold fingers through his skin,

But the dragon has

A weapon.

It is the fire that burns within.
