    Dragonfly

    Minty sea that waved along
    whilst I in our mellow boat of twine-
    sat beneath an apple sky.
    Its fellow stars hidden by a blazen blue,
    you, in all your physical attire
    3 cornered hat and a coroners coat,
    blackened by the drips of tar.

    At the waters edge, crusty granules
    of crystal sea salt,
    try to chug the ships course.
    Winding downwards in a spiral of nauticism,
    we burn the trail behind
    as light as air,
    we whisk along.
    Our 'Dragonfly'.
    Merrily she sails
    as gales give way to a stormy haze.
    The hatches locked,
    we've come a-cropper on a strange isle.

    A sort of horizen
    A sort of rim
    Its mountainous vales beckon us in.
    Beyond the foreign eyes that watch us,
    a smokey beam of red and green gives way-
    as its size grows and grows
    and grows and grows

    This lizard being,
    being in flight,
    oh dragon
    a plight that takes our breath away.
    Below,
    burnt grass.
    And we,
    on watered glass...
    sit waiting for this wild animal
    to take us home-
    in time for dinner.
