Small Flies and Other Wings

The poem was also inspired by a painting called Small Flies and Other Wings by Indonesian artist Christine Ay Tjoe.

I thought I was only dancing

Harmlessly flirting

With the spirits of the trees

But they decided otherwise

I tried to run too late

Their fingers knotted through my hair

I became another number

Victim of those who destroy

Small flies and other wings

Countdown Prompt Day 8

Write a fantasy poem

Make no mistake. The setting of the poem is the "fantasy" component. This is in no way a "fantasy" as in a desirable occurrence. In fact, the poem is based on occurrences that were anything but desired.

Quadrille #81: Draggin' Dragon

Image by GraphicMama-team from Pixabay

A silly poem calls for a silly dragon, and vice-versa

I’m a draggin’ dragon and I’m gonna get my drag on

Spewing flame out from my nostrils and swigging wine up from my flagon

Gonna fly high up in the sky and do some aerial tricks to brag on

A draggin’ dragon is me

That's 44 words by Cie
