A monstrous Dragon, breathing fire.
Did arise from the gurgling mire.
Dark gangrenous green, from head to tails.
Claws blackened, sharp as nails.
Purple secretions, from his scaly chest.
A spear harpooned, a grizzly mess.
Nostrils ablaze, bloodied red.
Eyes seeping yellow maggot heads.
My Dragon’s crying, and nearly dead.
Ivor Steven.

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Is the dragon a metaphor for someone or something? It’s sad that he had to die.
