Yesterday i posted Shudder - A fold linking it to dVerse and as quickly as today i am mining it with some new punctuations, line breaks and an extension of the storyline, and adding it to one of my series.

TALES OF A DRAGON UNSEEN - MAKING MYTHS [9] 
"Mayhaps we be reading the shadows wrong."
She whispered to Erke, edging up even closer.
His sword sheathed, he dare not prolong
this agony of not knowing, what monster breathed
ahead. "Mayhaps we be reading the shadows wrong,"
he agreed with Gurtha, quickening his stride.
Just then, in the distance, the booming of a gong.
They stood frozen, holding breaths an eternity.
Quickly a shudder wove through the forest, a throng
of sensation. Forever cannot be drawn in a circle.
"Shh! mayhaps we be reading the shadows wrong."

The dragon shimmied its way back into the sea.
Silvery scales wagon-wheeling through the vast
wetness. Only to Neptune's trident he chose to flee.
Of loud percussions had he, no taste of entertainment.
So dragon prince, shimmied its way back into the sea.
Then the ripple of leaves against a whistling wind,
and Holy monks in a temple, tired too of duty,
Was now, all that remained of a harrowing night.
Till the next season of moon birthing, maybe,
Erke and Gurtha would have have to wait their adventure.
For the dragon shimmied its way, back into the sea.

  3. I always enjoy fantasy, particularly when it includes dragons!

    You have actually anticipated a future prompt; I intend to invite remixes of one's own poems some time soonish. This time the prompt was to mine one's journals (or emails). So I'm taking a guess that perhaps you draft your poems in a journal first?

  4. The phrase "season of moon birthing" lingers... and awakens curiosity.

  8. I had chosen my favorite line even before I saw its double at the end. "So dragon prince, shimmied its way back into the sea." What an ordeal, wonderful heroes erupt.
    BTW, this reminds me that I have not checked into my Dragon group on FB for a long time. Gotta do that soon.
