In the dragon’s den,
sitting like a pet hen.
Staring into the distance,
calculating the moves
on the chessboard.
Move too quickly
and be burned!
Stay a while, and learn to smile!
The pain is embedded in each vain
but with it, the unmasking of the dragon!
For the knowledge gained
is more worth it than the
energy the dragon drained!
The poet enjoys reading, writing and being outdoors.
