Dragon Fire Poem by Barry Middleton

The dragon's breath is fire.
The noble chevalier
may quench the dragon's ire,
to free the world from fear.

His sword is drawn to fight,
as knights must take a stand,
to act and set things right,
with justice close at hand.

Of old the dragon died.
The gallant killed the beast,
for truth was on his side.
Then enmity would cease.

But knights must not delay.
Today there is a dearth,
and innocence is prey
as dragons scorch the earth.
