Iris Meets the Dragon
The Dragon, big and powerful
Gave the girl a fright
She stood in total silence,
Forgotten was her plight
***
Lilacs in her golden hair,
Iris stood her ground
Too afraid to cry, she smiled
The Dragon only frowned
***
Confused by this new twist
Why wouldn’t the human run away?
She blew a stream of fire
Hoping the girl might then not stay
***
Instead, Iris stepped ahead
Reaching out to her new friend
Knowing with pure effort
The Dragon’s act would end
***
She promised the Dragon friendship
With a stroke of loyalty.
