The ice-drake like the fire-drake <br />Is not strictly a dragon <br />Though it certainly is of dragon kin <br />Only four limbs, two legs and two wings <br />To the western dragons' remarkable six <br />Nor can it speak in human tongues <br />Not even converse by mind to mind <br />It regards humans, like all animals <br />As just another mouthful of food <br />But whereas the fire-drake, like the dragon, its' cousin <br />Will try to fry you before eating <br />The ice-drake, as its' name suugests <br />Breathes out a blizzards and freezes you instead.<br /><br />Marilyn Shepperson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-ice-drake/
