Full of charm and beauty <br />Full of malice and suspicion <br />The dark eyes of old <br />Forever watching as the years go by <br /> <br />Razor sharp claws <br />On every finger <br />Never to be tamed <br />To be wild for all eternity <br /> <br />Able to fly <br />Built with enormous strength <br />Soaring through the skies <br />Breathing fire from its mouth <br /> <br />Scaly skin <br />Teeth of a croc <br />Its almighty size <br />Strikes fear into the heart of men <br /> <br />But not I <br />I do not fear it <br />I respect it <br />The ruler of the land… <br /> <br />The dragon of old.<br /><br />Natalie Clyne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dragon-of-old/
