Sea Dragon
Scales of sapphire, amethyst, emerald and silver
Gliding like the currents themselves
Glistening horns of wisdom and purity
Guarding the underworld of heavenly aqua
Glowing eyes of jade
Encompassing the circle of light
Claws which hold the rocks of life
And protect the coral reefs
Of fire and ice
Your existence is true
The sea turns red
Red tide—the sea dragon has killed again
Now do not confuse this monster
With Nessie of the Loch
For she is too is of another world
Although compared to the sea dragon
She is of a gentler breed
And stands like a smooth stone
Compared to the jagged cliffs that the sea beats upon
Nessie stays in the bay
Rocking in the soothing tide
The sea dragon stalks the open waters
Prowling for ships that stray off course
The Bermuda Triangle
Is its breeding ground
Its wings capture the periwinkle winds
And they snatch planes from the misty blankets
Like a dragonfly that drowns in water
Coiling their snake tails around boats
Flipping them like rocks
Which tumble effortlessly down a steep cliff
