Dragon Time!

Sharon L Letson, Author

The question always is, which comes first? The poem or the painting. In today’s case it was the poem and then I created the painting to match my vision of it.

I do find that harder than getting the painting first and writing a short story or poem based on that, but sometimes you just have an idea that you need to write out.

Anyway, today’s poem is called “Dragon Time!”. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing and painting it.

Watercolor painting of kitten imagining that he is a dragon.
Dragon sniggles, wiggles, pounce
Fierce and brave, one big bounce

Rolls and squirms, holds on fast
Dragon fire, one big blast

Swooping tail, feet in air
Hides behind the kitchen chair

Not defeated, one more try
Catches fast, tries to fly

Won't let go, holding tight
Warriors battle, still they fight 

Til it eases and gives in
Today is Dragon's turn to win

Itchy, skrittchy dragon skin
Needs a scratch and then she's in

Takes a nap in the sun
Well deserved, battle won

Snoozes til the sunshine melts
Stretches, catches, 'What's that smell?"

Time to eat! Pads down the hall.
Dragon's just a little kitten after all
