Martial Ark

Mutley Ravishes

Wielding Manjushri's sword

I guard the dragon's hoard

But, oh Lord!

I'm still not highly skilled

Ones that steal and kill

Get past the defenses of this novice

One day I'll have a flawless

    You gonna turn into the fiend himself, eh? I believe, unless I misrecall, Eustace accomplished that in the Narnia series, simply by sleeping in the dragon's lair. I'll be the princess needing rescuing, who in lieu of such, am prey to the fire-breathing character. Fascinating and excellently rendered with a subtle poignancy and good humor. Thank you for sharing.

      Well, this dragon is a friend and ally to those who don't steal from him. Who are the ones that steal and kill? There are seven of them, backed up by a legion!

        Yikes!

        Hope it is today. A fanciful poem that in metaphor becomes reality. Very nicely written.
