The Great Black Dragon

Through the skies she soars on bat like wings

Her underbelly shines gold against the sun

one standing outside might think her evil

but I know the truth of this black one

She is guardian of hobbit and elf alike

her gentleness to all is unmatched

But make her angry oh dear no

her firey wrath will be unlatched

She is older than all time

having slept for many an age

She was wakened again

by the sounds of rage

With a fierce roar she flies

Off to fight some unknown evil foe

Odd for a black one, yes indeed

But this one is not normal, oh no.

Many a times this regal beast

Has had my back in a fight

She poured out her firey hell

when my child was taken on an unplanned flight.

Who is this beast this great black beast,

This magnificent dragon, so precious to me?

Some call her Amy, but I know the truth

She's the great one, called by the gods, Shang'li

Lady Frodo
