What do you see- Prompt # 1

In loving memory of our dear Hélène, from Willow Poetry, Sadje, from Keep it Alive is resurrecting the #whatdoyousee prompts that we all miss so much.

Draco

My beautiful dragon needed new wings

He stole the blue stained glass from the cathedral

Where the shadow world hovered in purple clouds above

The colour matching the outline of his new wings

They had marked him and would be coming for him

Where could a dragon of such beauty hide?

The wizard would know, but facing him was no easy task

Your story must be good, for he has been known

to turn a bad storyteller to dust.

The dragon began to speak in a low voice

There is a small child, sick in hospital that needs me

She has drawn me as you see me now

I would like you to turn me into a soft toy

Lay me by her side, so when she wakes

I will be there to give her comfort

The wizard smiled,

and I flew through starlight until morning…
