Legend of the Dragon Breath – End Credits
Ladies and Gentlemen
page readers of this hub,
Our saga wraps up
despite a huge missing gap.
Of the Dragon breath legend
and the flame filled cast,
In its tenth chapter instalment
the curtain close flaps.
A fast forward at the ending
a teaser you might say,
The reason for this is simple
I am still writing it you see.
A book of fifty chapters
in the grand old style of epic poetry,
A shot under children classics
maybe in my dreams and perhaps fantasy.
So I save now the last
for my very own past,
A final twist
to clear out any mishaps.
This legend I started
may have some semblance of fact,
But know that it is all tall tale
made of various fictional track.
None of it real
none of it literary historic,
All stitches of realities
made fanciful fantastic.
Imaginations gone wild
like the Don Quijote of yore,
Fighting old rundown windmill
with a conviction so pure.
Inspired by dear followers
specially to my readers,
Some words I did borrow
from the Greek myths and lore.
I apologize for the heresy
for such was not the core,
My intentions was to write a mini epic
in poetic fantasy rhetoric.
Worth of these words
I offer meagerly to entertain,
Over a keg and a flagon
over a hearty hearth flame.
Stories with warmth
I like all that ends happy,
With a hint at bittersweet
and some form of mellow dramatics.
Several friends inspired me
I thank my group the 'Ascii Core',
All book worms and avid reader
of Dungeons and Dragons and Tolkienian Lore.
Lovers of epic and high fantasy
of Weis and Hickman and Eddings and Anthony,
Of Donaldson and Reichert and Lackey
and the Dragon Earthseas of Le Guin.
And so here ends the legend
of the Dragon breathing fire,
Hope you enjoyed this poetry
And other works that I have tried.
Thus struck the last note
on this keyboard I fancy a harp lyre,
Always your humble Servant
your Songster, your Poet, your Bard.
