My heart is a dragon afloat An open mouth of violet Tender lips on a pool of glass Heaven in an azure mirror A tongue of gold spins The love of my soul Silken threads protect Project long quills as teeth Submitted to life’s current Pressed against satin scales I am a wild snap dragon…
Forever
In your eyes Forever is an eternity It’s time to be born Time to fade into tomorrow Become a star Burn from bright into night Spin a molten core Into permanent rock Turn snowflakes into ice Crown a mountain into clouds Trickle a stream into a river Wash my soul, embrace it pure Show my…
Love in Ten Lines

The challenge required that I use only 10 lines, that each line could only have four words, and each line had to itself contain the word love. My response to the challenge…

What Man is Made by Woman
