Pond (poem)

== Pond ==
By Chipper
<poem>Peace, in and around the Pond,
Fuzzy cubs and pups, playing together in the shallows,
Blue moonlight, dancing on the sleeping Dragon's opalescent scales,
The water so still it might be made of glass.
But oh, they know,
The harpies and the wyverns,
The cats and the wolves,
The salamanders and the kelpies,
They know.
Are the myths true?
Shall it happen?
Shall their
Splendid
Glorious
Magnificent
Pond be destroyed?
One spark.
Two sparks.
Four sparks.
Twelve turquoise sparks,
Flying from the Dragon's eyes.
Her pearly scales are nearly teal with magic,
Her wings are spreading,
The Dragon has awoken.
But, no, false alarm,
The Dragon will not harm tonight,
Though she may struggle,
She may not break the chains,
Creatures of Magic must obey Magic laws.
But she tries,
Writhing
Twisting
Turning
Biting
Thrashing
Trying to escape her Magic prison.
And, yet - is it possible?
If she awoke from an eternal Magic sleep,
Is it possible that the chains, too, have worn out?
For, now-
Snap!
Crack!
The sound of shattering glass,
The sound of ENCHANTMENTS being BROKEN.
Now, the Dragon is free,
ALL WILL QUAIL under her sapphire gaze,
ALL WILL WORSHIP her white scales,
And last, but most certainly not least, REVENGE.
DESTRUCTION,
The WATER is on FIRE,
The CUBS and PUPS shall never GROW,
The MOONLIGHT is AS FIERY AND AS HOT AS THE DRAGON HERSELF.
Chaos, in and around the Pond,
Fuzzy cubs and pups, lying and dying together in the shallows,
Blue moonlight, becoming one with the angry Dragon's opalescent scales,
The water still so still it might be made of glass.
