THE DRAGON MALIGNED

How Music Brought About Change

Author's Drawing Of The Five-Headed Dragon

Once deep in the forest,

lived the five-headed dragon,

interaction might lead to a sorest.

Traveling by circus wagon,

was the scared and frightened dragon.

***

Knowing, what people thought.

People ignored the dragon's cries.

Since they were taught,

don't look into their eyes.

They were given misinformation and lies.

***

Lovingly, the goddess played the lute,

capturing the dragon's heart.

The dragon wasn't a brute.

The dragon needed a new start.

Besides liking tarts, it was very smart.

***

The dragon was treated with kindness.

Never again, darkness and blindness.

It ended with the dragon's loving-kindness.

***

With people dropping their phoniness,

the dragon would no longer live in loneliness.

Writer's notes: Thank you for reading my dragon poem. When a dragon receives bad PR, one's music, love, and kindness brought about change.

Last week, Vocal Writing Prompts' post was to write a poem about a dragon. You can find information regarding the prompt here.
