Well done, in every way that counts! Your tags are well-chosen too.

This poem appeals to me in a way a can’t quite describe. It is nicely written and it has a nice mellowing rhythm to it.

It’s a good poem but are you sure you haven’t misused any words there? The words “Plumage tall” does not exactly make sense. They are contradicting.

“Plumage” means to to fall or downwardly soar and along with that you used “tall.” Now I’m confused.

Hi, Teacher… how are you?
Glad you decided to read my poem, but the word you’re thinking of is plummet, not plumage. Plumage is the feathers that cover a bird’s body, so, in using feathers first, I decided to liken the trees to the plumage on a helmet. Does that make sense now, sir?
Thanks for reading.

Great work.

Wonderful, beautiful words.

This is incredibly beautiful! I’m assuming “Plumage tall”could be indicative of a bird standing tall as looking downward;or the leaves pointing downward as well.

This is such a beautiful poem. I love the way it flows.

Very lovely.. and visual. Your words paint a beautiful picture.

My mind is getting a good work-out on this one. Wow! Now I want to know, who is this dragon child?

Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments. I really appreciate them.
Jamie, I was going through a dark time in High School when I wrote this, I needed an escape, so I became the Dragon’s Child; accosted as the pariah I was, I decided that I needed to rise above it somehow. I had turned to poetry as a release, and this is the fifth poem I wrote.
Trishia, the line ‘plumage tall’ just happened to be chopped off at the end of the previous one, so, it really has nothing to do with birds, but trees, that were supposedly so tall, now unable even to touch his knees, tickling the fancy of the dragon as he flies over them.
To everyone else, thank you so much.

That’s lovely. Thank you for sharing.

I loved it! It is dark and haunting and beautifully mastered.

This is unique poem, and nicely done!

Now this is a work of a true poet. Such a genius! I am so jealous!

Very good, Adam. I really enjoy reading good poetry.

I love your flights of fantasy,those are truly the types of works that I am interested in,you place images in my head that take me to places beyond this earth which is exactly what I think a true poet should accomplish,I am inspired…

dragons are usually feared because they are misunderstood, is that how you felt? If it was, then this was a very good expression of that feeling.. it was conveyed through the words `who are you?` as if the one asking is jealous of that trait.. deep enough, but I got the benefit of the previous comments. Thanks for the share.

In school I was at the front of the line once. I fell and everyone ran right over top of me to get to the bus. Nobody even knew I was down there.

So you were the dragon’s child? Yes, we are many.

I really enjoyed reading this, beautifully done!

Nice work, you have some excellent writings

This was an alluring composition. I was deeply moved and I can’t explain why..maybe it appeals to me so much because I’ve had to fight tooth and nail for everything I believe in..made sacrifices that I didn’t want to make..lost so much because I was being too bull-headed and selfish..trusted all the wrong people and got burnt big-time..turned to explicit drugs in the past because it was the only thing that seemed to make the bad things go away..for a little while..exquisite Adam Henry Spears.

i like the rhythm!!!! very good!!!!!!
