Lovely and Terrible Creatures: A Collection of Dragon Poetry

For the truly daring out there, venture into the world of the loveliest and most terrible creatures: dragons. Written a poem a day throughout the month of dragons (Smaugust, also known as August), this collection of thirty-one poems explores the beauty, humor, terror, and tragedy of these great beasts of legend.

It's that time of year again: SMAUGUST!!! So I figured I'd share the collection that I posted last year! :D You can still find the poems floating around my social media, but I did polish them up and added an extra one for 31 poems total if you want to buy the ebook on ko-fi for just the basic $3! (Which would be super helpful considering things are particularly rough atm, but it's fine if not!) Thank you so much to anyone that considers reading and sharing; this was such a passion project of mine <3

Tear down the Firmament

Force Paradise to be

In this hellscape

Of Creation

.

Let the Righteous gaze upon

What their past lives

Have wrought

Moonburnt Soul

The night sky stirs and stars follow dizzy rotations

Fog billows in the air, smoke of an invisible fire

Cold, cold swirls dance between the constellations

You stand there watching and fuel your own pyre

You used to sit in the same place, talking on and on all night

You told me all your secrets, all the rumors old and new

Now you lay there without any protest or fight

Moonburnt soul, what happened to you?

Warmth was all you ever wanted, warmth is what you deserve

Now in one way or another, warmth is what you're trying to have

Moonburnt soul, you're not yet too far gone for love

Moonburnt soul, you're not yet too far gone to save

Your clothes stink of kerosene, please, let me put them away

It hurts me, to see you so broken and afraid

Let me kiss your lips and give you a reason to stay

Moonburnt soul, please, let me be of aid

I wail and sob though I'm not something you can see

Then my heart sears with the heat of your lighter's flashes

Fire envelops the soul I once loved with glee

My world is in flames and I'm grieving for ashes

Moonburnt soul, you've left me alone

I did not think you could be so brave

Moonburnt soul, you're too far gone

To love, to save, to help, to have

When I Touched the Wall

I went inside a castle that stood there years ago; no one lives there now except the keepsakes and statues for a show. And when I thought I’d seen it all, the guardian would say, “Adieu!” Another door opened and made me enter a door I thought I was not a stranger to.

There welcomed my view, a golden gilded wall painted years ago with fluttering birds and silver blossoms that bloom when the snow goes. As I pressed on the wooden floors that creaked in a way, I always knew the floors made sounds like how a beautiful fowl sings to whom it doesn't want to let go.

As I walked the wooded floor, the fowl sang, saying, “I don’t want to let go.” My chest is supposed to tighten when I feel a terrific zephyr blow in a room enclosed that isn’t mine yet; to me, it feels like it knows. It knows I understand I, too, don't want to let go.

Halfway from the farewell light, I reached for the wall that seemed you touched not long ago. The wall felt warm as I pressed on, and my bosom felt it would meet you. There, before the exit, I blinked my eyes, “One, two.” Then you appeared in my very eyes, in a garb from long ago.

Your hand met mine, and they became intertwined as if there were no letting go. What you did took me back, and so did the clothes I wear now. The silk felt like mine, yet the time wasn’t right. I panicked. My eyes blinked. “One, two.” Now, back in time, hand on a metal frame, I think I should have stayed with you.

And just when I thought that was the last I’d see of you, there you are again—there you go. You are standing in a garden of blossoms falling like snow. My feet walked towards you as if they knew that’s what they had to do. Only to stop two feet away, seeing someone holding your hands as if she’d held them first years ago.

Love not Lost

I’m holding you in a field of flowers

The crisp air blows through our hair

We look at each other and know in this moment 

In this moment it is never gone

The love is never gone; the forever is never gone. 

Our last goodbye is never a last goodbye.

\nothing/

Nothing is a Menacing idea A frightening being - The void The forgotten day The primordial thing - You might think me a fool A madman rambling away A thinker after one too much pint - Perhaps my friends, perhaps Perhaps that’s true Perhaps - But lend an ear this advice at least Not of sage, wiseman or scholar But a man under the lamp - Do not think too long about absence Don’t empty your mind of thought Don’t ponder things unmade - For with no intention so or a curious mind  You will thread right into the empty You stumble upon the Nothing

[rhythmicreverie]

A humble wizard unveiled, His talent unnoticed, yet concealed. He whispered spells with magic breath, Creating worlds with mere words and faith. In hidden realms, he'd dwell, His enchantments binding, spells as well. But one day, a wandering soul chanced, Upon his skill, the universe danced. As magic swirled in every verse, The wizard found new strength to conquer all with just one phrase: "The power within me, I choose to bless."

dark fabric draped in the sky

by a lonely, old goddess

the last of the first among sisters

and the only remaining

her dark blanket makes the night

but it is ancient as she

so holes pepper the dyed wool

cut by a gnawing infant

her light shines the infinite stars

and during the day

she comes from her hiding place

to search for siblings

and the sun blazes her worry

A Sorcerer Called Edgar Thompson

Image by Free Fun Art from Pixabay

He is a proud old man

He doesn't like change

He despises too many people

He is a sorcerer

He has never married and has no children

He has a dog called Grumpy

He lives inside a cottage

He can fly

He doesn't own a wand

He always spends the holidays with only Grumpy

He goes to cafés on weekends and sketches animals

He owns more than one hundred robes

He owns more than fifty pointed hats

He has a long white beard

He is very tall

He began keeping a diary on his sixth birthday

He dislikes summertime

He likes to go for a walk on cold mornings

He often makes magic potions inside his house

He sells them to people at shops all over England

He makes a handsome living

He drinks too much tea

He eats too much salad every week

He reads the paper every morning

He watches very little television

He only reads crime stories

He is called Edgar Thompson.

The Magical Encounter

Welcome, welcome one and all,

I hope you come and have a ball,

With banners high, and lights galore,

Let me open up the doors.

Let's dance all night,

Into the day,

Around the garden,

And through the bay.

The magic here is clear as glass,

Sturdy as the mountains tall,

Shimmering through the room on mass,

Let's be merry in my hall,

Welcome, Welcome, here's my treat,

The party flows onto the street.

The music flows around the space,

The smiles plastered all on your face.

The flowers blossom,

Fragrances sweet,

The beats we dance to are just that awesome.

All of you are such a treat.

The magic here is clear as glass,

Sturdy as the mountain tall,

Shimmering through the room on mass,

Let's be merry in my hall.

Let's dance in our circle,

And cheer to make hearts eternal.

Let's never ever let this end,

And toast in joy for our friends.

The magic here is clear as glass,

Sturdy as the mountain tall.

Shimmering through the room on mass,

The beat will never come to crawl.

The magic here is clear as glass,

All who come, hope it lasts.

Shimmering bright, a halo to all,

I invite you now, come join my ball.

A thousand arms writhe

In a sultry dance

Of Mass Destruction

Clearing slate to canvas

For a new Divine Creation

Secrets

-

The trees offer me secrets

Unearthly revelations

Ancient tales of the blackest skies

Dragons with cerulean scales

And fire in their emerald eyes

Fog filled landscapes

Towering moss encased castles

Vibrant cosmic tapestries

Dripping with crystalline tassels

August standing stones

Set around earthy green mounds

White whispered sonnets

Swirling sweetly in opalescence clouds

Dancing fireflies

Illuminating lush mountain meadows

Lavender treasures hidden for an age

In black hole shadows

Deep moonlit oceans

Stretching for a watery eternity

A starlit epic tale

Emanating with celestial intensity

-

Lovely and Terrible Creatures: A Collection of Dragon Poetry

For the truly daring out there, venture into the world of the loveliest and terrible creatures: dragons. Written a poem a day throughout the month of dragons (Smaugust, also known as August), this collection of thirty-one poems explores the beauty, humor, terror, and tragedy of these great beasts of legend.

I finally edited my Smaugust poems and slapped them together into a pretty ebook! Only the basic Ko-fi $3 for cleaner poems than I posted (and you can still check out) here on @revenantpoet, plus a bonus poem, clocking in at over 7k words for all 31 poems. :D Thank you so much to anyone who considers supporting or sharing, it means a ton!!!

beware the creeping red

who pools bove still water

‘neath willow she billows

as selûne sleeps

beware the creeping red

steps deft ‘pon leaves

in silence she slithers

to seek out her needs

blood and bone

flesh and marrow

living or dead

she takes no heed

no arrival announced

nor trace does she leave

beware the creeping red

lest you feed her greed

beware

beware

beware the creeping red

Three children above the sun strike down in their fun

Three champions born of craft and carve war upon the land graphed in large

One of one seeks defiance, power, and nothing

Two of two seek non-compliance, the growing flower, and something

And when at last when they all clash their war shall not be over till the world is caked with ash

Yet even then they’ll rise again in holy guided defense 

A brutal resurrection from the buried grave will ensure the lands protection

So many will die following champions sent from high
