I've been toying with an idea for some time now. It began with the title and I have been considering what it means.
This is a very rough draft.
I saw Ryley Walker last Saturday. He was wondrous. Here is a video of Roundabout from the gig.
Try to catch him live. He is incredible.

The
Significance of Dragons
is
woven into our RNA
a
souvenir of our oppression
before
the liberating asteroid
provoked
alternatives
that
led old men to decide
who
was to be sacrificed
was
carved into the prow
of
every longship
spreading
terror
has
shaped this land
sculptured
its contours
over
long centuries
so
give thanks
so
give praise
I am sure there is more to say, but this will do for the moment.I saw Ryley Walker last Saturday. He was wondrous. Here is a video of Roundabout from the gig.
Nice poem. Dragons intrigued me. I often wonder why Welsh have dragon in their flag.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI am not sure why the Welsh have a dragon but there are lots of stories about dragons in Welsh folklaw.
