Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
not sure i got it entirely right, and i had to quickly look up the author, but
here there be dragons by jane yolan
the map tells sailors where to sail
the decorations sun and whale
the warning spelled in letters pale
here there be dragons
the well known routes upon the map
should cause the sailors no mishap
but north-northwest there is a gap
and here there be dragons
the continents are not drawn true
the ocean waves outlined in blue
sea serpentine provides the clue
where there be dragons
yet year by year the ships have passed
cross oceans wide and oceans vast
and sailors stared atop the mast
for where there be dragons
but no jaws of blue or scales of green
are by these modern sailors seen
do you think that this might mean
here there be no more dragons?
i'd like to hope, i'd like the pray
the dragons have just gone... away
and will return some other day
then here there will be dragons, again
poll time. yes this is just a ploy to get people to recommend me poems
if yes, let me know which poems/recite some for me in the tags!
