Something special for a little friend's birthday
Happy birthday, Kid!!!
With a mighty roar and great flapping of wings
she climbs into the sky as if pulled by strings
sunlight glitters off her scales making a rainbow
that dances in the eyes of the watchers below
Her wings spread so wide they cover the sky
and with strong flaps, the dragon will fly!
Soaring higher and higher fly up toward the sun
then dive toward the ground to watch people run
then swooping back up at the last possible moment
the wind of her wings knocking down a large tent
as she slows down her flight she roars out a "Sorry!"
Everyone is laughing and tells her "Don't worry!"
She is a powerful dragon, majestic and proud
often daydreaming as she floats on a cloud
but when she is needed she answers the call
this dragon named Lilly, a friend to us all
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
She loves it!!! She has a print that she is wandering around with.:) I've a feeling I will be reading it again and again and again. Oh wait already did that.:)
