The Mandrake Dragon
Took my imagination, out for a stroll
Like a demonically possessed young child's doll
Came across some mead, filled up in a flagon
Twas there i encountered, the Mandrake Dragon
It flapped its wings, And blew its flames at me
It shrieked as loud, as a screaming Banjee
Instead of claws, it had flailing flowers
Poisonous to the touch, with teeth to devour
Ghostlike in appearance, like an evil Manitou
As down from the darkened skies it flew
Its eyes were a deep fearsome firey red
And a roar so loud, to awaken the dead
I stood there frozen, in terror, and fear
As this dark fearsome creature, began to draw near
It then swallowed me whole, in the dark of the night
My heart gave way, as i died from the fright
My ghost now wanders, lost, and alone
As the terror now chills me, right through to the bone
I now scream like a Banjee, in my wayward travails
As i wander the earth, within my own hell

This was a really interesting intriguing write, it felt like a slow dance and in the end seemed to explode. Like an ritual\rite of sorts, I swear i could hear that Banjee screaming into my ears. A lovely melodic write!
