Literature Text

I'd love to have a pet
A dragon, to be precise
A big green winged dragon
(But a blue one would suffice)

And if I had a dragon
We'd have lots and lots of fun
We'd scare away the neighbor's cats
And lounge in the summer sun

I'd love to have a dragon
I could ride upon its back
I'd polish all its emerald scales
And bring it lots of snacks

Perhaps I would toast marshmallows
O'er its fiery, fiery breath
(If a boy, I'd name it Travis.
If a girl, I'd name it Beth.)

I'd keep it safe in my backyard
Perhaps in a garden shed
I think that it would probably fit –
That's what the sales clerk said

I'd take my dragon for a walk
And everyone would stare
They've never seen a dragon
Being treated with such care

And if my dragon laid some eggs
I'd incubate them well
I'd wait and wait until they hatched
I bet that they would sell

I'd only sell the babies
If my dragon so desired
But dragon babies are hard to train –
Some tamers I would hire

And when the babes were all grown up
Why, I'd give them away
To prospective dragon owners
With whom they'd play all day

And when my dragon pet got old
I'd let it rest and sleep
Perhaps I'd find another pet –
Perchance a cat to keep

You should write a book of fantasy poems for kids/teens. It would be so amazing, you're such a good poet.

I love the imagery and sense of humor that are in all your poems! Also the rhythm is always perfect.

Good job! : D
