Crimson Rain

On a still...ancient horizon,

Massive dragon wings emerge,

To the atmospheric battlefield. 

Where two legendary beasts,

Clash for the love...of a dragoness.

A battle of mythic proportions,

Of two stonily serpents in the sky.

Only three dragons remain,

The two wary warriors,

And the dragoness they fight for.

The flap of enormous wings,

Thunders the air abroad.

The fire in the sky illustrates,

That the battle has begun.

Fierce deafening roars,

Rape the quiet Delphi skies.

In a solemn brave attempt,

To win the dragoness’ heart.

She rests...nestled in the mountains,

For the winning warrior’s return.

Strident screams pierce the heavens,

From the vicious violent brutality.

Aggressive attacks resonate,

Vibrating her lair of stone,

As she shivers in despair and wonder.

Sharp talons pierce the scales,

Shredding the tissue of life.

Effervescent mists spray,

Staining the clouds with gore.

A thud hits the landscape,

And her attentive attention reacts.

Waiting with complete ambition,

A second thud thumps the landscape.

Curious eyes creep from the cave,

She wrestles with the thought of extinction,

As both...her warriors are slain,

Laying lifelessly...in a crimson rain.

Wow, didn't expect that. You played it out like an ancient tale from mythology. Great poem and imagination.

Terrible ending...maybe there is a dragon hidding way out of view just waiting for the opportunity to win this one's love...Great guessor...Sunflower

I liked reading it and the end hit as surprising. It's interesting. I didn't expect it. You describe many things well in this, especially sound. I could hear it as I read along. The stanzas 3, 4, 5, and 7 all have great detail with sound. "Strident screams pierce the heavens," astounding.
'The flap of enormous wings,
Thunders the air abroad."
I liked this...a lot.
