The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Ice dragon in the clouds.


Here Be Dragons

Write a poem about a dragon
but first a swig from this here flagon
metamorphosis a thirsty job
and I have that from the horse’s gob
so now I see things through the wyrm’s eyes
which, I suppose, should be no surprise
I must become the thing I describe
not just fantasies that I imbibe.
