Yin Tiger, Yang Dragon
(a Sonnet)
Her stripe’ed face appeared from bushes near,
Framed with banana leaves a shiny green.
Spies with her amber eyes, focused and clear,
A creature never heard, and never seen.
She growls & says What brings you here to me?
“They say, a huntress of the rhyming word.
I know of this from far across the sea;
I am a little dragon, have you heard?”.
Upon your scales, a new place I belong!
I wish to be with you across the sea.
The dragon soared to show the way along,
So tiger tried to leap from tallest tree.
The tiger, crashing through the limbs on high,
While shouting out I don’t know how to fly!

"Tiger Tiger burning bright." But, unfortunately, he didn't know how to fly, yet I hope the dragon meant well. Love this fantasy, jade. Beautifully written and rhymed. I imagine LilDragonFly is thrilled!

From beauty to beauty
Sweet poetry so rare
Sacred be their duty
The poets heart ensnare
A wonderful tribute to LDF's artistry and to your magic pen.
Brava, Jadey

Re: Re. Yin Tiger, Yang Dragon
What a lovely response to my gift, Bob. And we two both highly appreciative as writers of the sonnet as well, so your thoughts & the sweet mini-verse (to carry in a pocket wherever I go) are meaningful to me. Thank you so much.
